This time, a sweet savory dish is one of the recipes that I have been wanting to make at home for a long time and I definitely want to show you here. However, the bad news is that the telang flowers that I planted at my work location have been destroyed. And I don't have the seeds anymore after leaving the job. Well very coincidentally my friend brought me a souvenir of telang flower seeds that he sowed in small polybags. And it was very valuable to me, now I have moved the flower and it grows thickly in the yard of my house.
Today is the second harvest of my telang flowers, I have harvested them once before and dried them. I'm so happy to have so many of these flowers now, so I don't have to wait too long to make anything from them including this recipe.
Sweet Potato Glutinous Cake
Sweet potato sticky rice cake is a cake made with glutinous rice cooked with coconut milk and a blend of telang flowers. Then the top layer is added with sweet potatoes that are boiled and stirred with coconut milk. Now the bottom of the sticky rice is not sweet it tastes more savory but the top creates a sweet taste so that when bitten together this cake has a unique taste. The cake itself is cooked with some aromatic leaves so anyone who enjoys it will love it.

Then remove and while still hot, put it in a baking sheet, while pressing it until it is solid, then set it aside first.
Sweet Potato Layer Ingredients
50 ml thick coconut milk
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
Procedure For Making Sweet Potato Layer
I steamed the sweet potato first until tender, then I crushed it until it was perfectly smooth.
Add sugar and also thick coconut milk, well incidentally here I use fresh coconut milk, if you don't have it, you can add instant one.
I stir evenly then I add salt to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
After the sweet potato layer dough is just right, I add a layer on top of the glutinous rice in the pan. I compacted it and smoothed it to the maximum, then I cooked it for 15 minutes and then cooled it first then you can remove it from the pan.
Result
Serve the sweet potato layered glutinous rice cake on a plate and top the cake with a single flower. The layers are very pretty, and the colors are quite vibrant. Telang flowers provide a beautiful natural color and are also very good as a healthy dye.
I'm so happy that the harvest of telang flowers this time made a delicious cake that I tried for the first time. Well after cutting the cake I got about 12 pieces with a small size. But this was enough for me to enjoy with my mom at home.
The taste is savory and also the sweetness of sweet potatoes, there is a distinctive aroma of orange leaves and lemongrass. But for those who don't like these aromatic leaves, you can skip it, but I really like this combination.
