- Tepung Gandum (All-Purpose Flour): 250g – Use a good quality flour for the best results.
- Tepung Tapioka (Tapioca Flour): 100g – This adds chewiness to the kuih.
- Gula Pasir (Granulated Sugar): 100g – Adjust to your preferred sweetness.
- Garam (Salt): Secubit (A pinch) – Enhances the overall flavour.
- Telur (Egg): 1 biji, pukul sedikit (1 lightly beaten) – Binds the ingredients together.
- Minyak untuk menggoreng (Oil for frying): secukupnya (as needed) – Use a high smoke point oil like vegetable oil or palm oil.
Cara-cara Memasak (Cooking Instructions):
-
Sediakan Ubi Keledek (Prepare the Sweet Potato): Kukus ubi keledek sehingga lembut. Biarkan sejuk sedikit sebelum dilenyek sehingga halus. (Steam the sweet potato until soft. Let it cool slightly before mashing until smooth.) Remove any lumps.
-
Campurkan Bahan Kering (Combine Dry Ingredients): Dalam satu bekas yang besar, satukan tepung gandum, tepung tapioka, dan gula pasir. Gaul rata. (In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, and granulated sugar. Mix well.)
-
Gabungkan Bahan Basah dan Kering (Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients): Masukkan ubi keledek yang telah dilenyek, telur yang telah dipukul sedikit, dan garam ke dalam bekas bahan kering. Gaul sebati sehingga menjadi doh yang lembut dan tidak melekat di tangan. (Add the mashed sweet potato, lightly beaten egg, and salt to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a soft, non-sticky dough is formed.) If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
-
Bentuk Kuih Keria (Shape the Kuih Keria): Bentukkan doh menjadi bebola-bebola kecil, lebih kurang sebesar bola ping pong. Kemudian, tekan sedikit di tengah dan panjangkan sedikit untuk membentuk bentuk keria. (Shape the dough into small balls, approximately the size of a ping pong ball. Then, gently press down in the center and slightly lengthen to form the keria shape.)
-
Goreng Kuih Keria (Fry the Kuih Keria): Panaskan minyak dalam kuali dengan api sederhana. Goreng kuih keria sehingga perang keemasan dan garing. Angkat dan toskan minyak. (Heat oil in a wok or deep pan over medium heat. Fry the kuih keria until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain excess oil.)
-
Sedia untuk dihidangkan! (Ready to serve!) Serve warm or at room temperature.
Petua dan Tips (Tips and Tricks):
- Kualiti Ubi Keledek: Gunakan ubi keledek yang manis dan berkualiti untuk rasa yang lebih sedap. (Use sweet and high-quality sweet potatoes for a better flavour.)
- Ketebalan Doh: Jangan terlalu nipis atau tebal. Ketebalan yang sederhana akan menghasilkan kuih keria yang rangup di luar dan lembut di dalam. (Don't make the dough too thin or too thick. A moderate thickness will result in kuih keria that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.)
- Suhu Minyak: Pastikan minyak cukup panas sebelum menggoreng. Api yang terlalu kecil akan menyebabkan kuih keria menyerap banyak minyak. (Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying. Too low heat will cause the kuih keria to absorb too much oil.)
- Jangan Goreng Terlalu Lama: Goreng sehingga perang keemasan sahaja. Jika digoreng terlalu lama, kuih keria akan menjadi keras. (Don't over fry. Fry until golden brown. Over frying will result in hard kuih keria.)
Variasi Resipi (Recipe Variations):
You can add variations to this basic recipe. Try adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds before frying for added texture and flavour, or experiment with different types of sugar, such as palm sugar (gula melaka) for a richer, more caramel-like taste.
