Ingredients

---

---

• 500 grams of cassava
• 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 500 ml of water or to taste
• 150 grams of brown sugar
• 1 pandan leaf
• A pinch of salt

---

Coconut sauce ingredients

---

---

• 500 ml of thick coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar or to taste
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (dissolve in a little water)
• A pinch of salt

---

How to make

---

First step: Grate the cassava using the smallest grater or you can also use a shredder. After the cassava is grated, squeeze it so that there is not too much water so that it is easy to shape and when boiled the candil does not easily fall apart

---

---

Second step: Add tapioca flour, salt then stir until evenly distributed.

---

---

Third step: Take about a quarter tablespoon of cassava then form balls or to taste, do this until all are used up

---

---

Fourth step:Finely slice the brown sugar. Boil water in a pan, add brown sugar and pandan leaves, stir continuously so that the sugar melts quickly. Add a little salt.

---

---

Step five: After the sugar water boils, add the cassava balls so that they do not pile up and stir occasionally. (These cassava balls remain intact and will not break, the key is that the sugar water must really boil) Cook until they float and are cooked, then set aside.

---

---

Step six: Make coconut milk sauce, put coconut milk in a pan, sugar and salt, stir until well blended, cook over medium heat until boiling while stirring so that the coconut milk does not break, after boiling, add the cornstarch solution and stir again until boiling, turn off the heat and the candil porridge is ready to serve.
