Easy purple bubur cha cha

Today my mom decided to make bubur cha cha from sweet potatoes we happened to have. We had purple and orange sweet potatoes from Melaka that were begging to be cooked.

So, my mom used both orange and purple sweet potatoes which gave the soup a lovely purple colour. Really pretty. Usually there is sago in bubur cha cha but we didn't have any. So they were "sago-less". But still really nice.

Basically bubur cha cha is a traditional Nyonya dish. It is a sweet desert soup made with sweet potatoes, "gula melaka" (a kind of brown sugar in a big chunk) and coconut milk. It is super easy to make too.

Below is the recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1-3 sweet potatoes (depending on size)
1 litre of water
100ml coconut milk
100g gula melaka

Instructions

Cube the sweet potatoes
Boil 1 litre of water and add in all the ingredients
Simmer until potatoes are tender
Serves 4 bowls

It is a pleasant dessert and I really enjoyed it. I like eating tubers, fruit and other natural food. Hopefully I get more opportunities to eat them!
