2013 - Sweet Potato Balls in Coconut Syrup

2014 - Fried Sweet Potato Balls

Droolicious pictures, authentic recipes and simple presentation…..is her style of blogging….I am taking about Tika of Cooking Chapter. My humble sister from Indonesia….who is gracing this event for the third time in a row. In today’s post Tika has shared with us a delicacy of her country….which is ‘steamed plantain drenched in thick coconut milk sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds and grated cheese’. This combo sounds really yum…isn’t it…???

Assalamu’alaikumwarahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Alhamdulillah we can finally meet again with Ramadan this year and glad that I can participate on Lubna’s Ramadan event “Joy From Fasting To Feasting VIII” one more time.I still can’t believe it’s already Ramadan again. How fast time flies and we don’t even realize it. I hope we can meet Ramadan again next year. Aamiin. Nevertheless, thank you, Lubna, for always thinking of me.

In this opportunity let me take you to another Indonesian sweet dish that really perfect for iftar. It’s vegan and healthy. Easy-to-find ingredients which you probably already have in the kitchen, so easy to make and doesn’t take too much time or effort. I personally don’t like to spend most of my time in the kitchen during my fasting time in Ramadan. Hence, I choose wisely what to cook for iftar and suhoor.

This recipe was modified by me from the original traditional dish, Sate Pisang or Steamed Plantain Sate or Steamed Plantain Satay from Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. I served the steamed plantain slices in cups instead of thread them on skewers. Palatable combination of steamed plantain and coconut milk never gone wrong.Savory from coconut milk sauce with the perfect natural sweet taste of plantain. To add more colors to the dish, I add black and white sesame seeds. Of course sesame seeds give nutty taste and crunch when you eat it. And last, salty taste from grated cheese. So, it’s a rich and flavorful iftar dish.

Cook’s Note: You could steam the plantains early before the serving time and make the sauce right before serving.
