These are so good — thanks for posting the recipe. I just found and baked an Asian sweet potato. I love these treats, which I have not had in some time (we have to go to an Asian specialty store to find them).

Dear rasa Malaysia,

Once I tried to do some frying coated with sesame seeds . But the problem I faced that the sesame seeds get deep dark or burned when frying the balls or main iteam . Also , the sesame seeds get scattered in the oil from the food. Does not stick all seeds with the food always . Some get scattered some sticks. Please advise.

Thanks

I went to Cameron Highland recently where these balls are sold almost everywhere..But since I’m fasting (it’s puasa month), i bought a few packs home and realized i didn’t know how to make the balls..Definitely will try to make them tomorrow for buka puasa..Thanx for the recipe..

Hi Derek – yes, I have the same problem with frying in an American kitchen. It’s not like home in Malaysia where the smell doesn’t trap in the house. I now have a deep-fryer and I deep fry in my garage and have the garage door open for the whole day to rid the smell. Good luck. :)

Hi There, I seldom deep fry at home because of the fumes and the carpet and upholstery absorbing cooking smells.
Nowadays, I do not deep fry because of health reasons.
Hell, you only live once. Get rid off all your shackles and get a life…
Actually, If you deep fry at home. Say do it once deep fry a few items within 30 minutes, it is healthier. Throw away the oil after that.
So you can start with prawn crackers, then sweet potato balls and then chicken and finally fish. All within 20 or 30 minutes before the oil becomes carcinogenic. It is still healthier than eating in posh restaurants.
We use an extension cord and cook on the deck or on a BBQ.
A real kiasu and kiasee.
I am trying this sweet potato recipe next when weather gets better four years too late(now 29 May 2010). All the best to all Malaysian exiles from Auckland, nz
