Kuih Keria is one of my childhood favourite kuih. Each time my mum asked me what kuih I want to buy from our favourite Malay Kuih Stall, this would be one of it... I like how the crispy coating reveal the soft and chewy centre....
I am not sure what it is called in English but if I just translate it based on the "kuih", I will named it Sugar-coated Sweet Potato Doughnut...

It is pretty simple to make this and if you would like to prepare them beforehand, you can mould the doughnut into its shaped and keep it inside the fridge overnight, and deep fry them in the morning for breakfast!
INGREDIENTS:
(Makes 12 sweet potato doughnut)
1. 650g sweet potato , cut into small pieces
2. 65g tapioca starch
3. 65g plain flour
4. Oil for frying
5. Half cup of white sugar
6. 3 teaspoon of water
METHODS:
1. Peel off the skin of the sweet potatoes and cut them into small pieces.
2. Steam them until soft as shown in photo.

8. In another pan, heat up sugar until it melted. (This may take a while--probably 5-10 mins)

9. Once the sugar melted, add a little water and make them into thick syrup. Place the potato doughnut into the sugar syrup and coat them evenly.

10. Remove the doughnut and you can see the sugar coating turning white once it cooled off (which is pretty fast)
11. And it is ready! Enjoy!
P/S: For those who wanted to cut down on their sugar intake, you can eat them as it is... no need to coat with sugar....
