Preparation Steps
1
Peel the sweet potato, cut it into smaller pieces, and boil in boiling water until completely softened (about 15-20 minutes).
2
Drain the cooked sweet potato and mash until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
3
Add the flour and salt to the mashed sweet potato, and mix until you get a soft but moldable dough.
4
Divide the dough into smaller equal parts, then form them into small balls. Then, using your finger, make a hole in the middle of each ball to create the donut shape.
5
Heat the oil in a deep saucepan, then fry the donuts over medium heat until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side).
6
In a separate saucepan, melt the sugar with a little water until it becomes syrupy. Cook until the syrup begins to thicken.
7
Add the fried donuts to the sugar syrup, then stir to coat evenly. Leave for a few minutes for the sugar to solidify on the donuts.
8
Let the Kuih Keria cool completely, then serve and enjoy this traditional Malaysian dessert!
