Karyoka (Filipino Chewy Balls)

Since this is a Filipino dessert or snack I prefer to spell it as Karyoka, usually spelled as Carioca or Karioka.  This is commonly seen on street food in skewer.  I'm also longing for this dessert, I often buy it from street food in my hometown.

 Ingredients:

• 1 cup glutinous rice flour
• 1 cup decadent coconut
• 3/4 cup coconut milk
• cooking oil for deep fry

Coating: 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup coconut milk

This recipe was inspired by Panlasang Pinoy.  Though I used a different rice flour as suggested and used decadent coconut as I have no idea yet where to buy a (fresh) shredded coconut in our area.

His procedure, as quote:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup  glutinous rice flour, 1 cup decadent coconut and 3/4 cup coconut milk.  Mix well until dough is formed.  (Mine was not formed, it's a bit dry). 
2. Scoop about a tablespoon and a half of the mixture then form into the ball shaped figure.  Set aside. 
3. Heat cooking pot then pour in cooking oil.
4. Deep fry the mixture that were formed into balls in medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until the color turns light to medium brown. 
5. Turn off heat and remove the ball from the cooking pot.  Transfer the balls to plate line with paper towel.  Set aside. 
6. Start making the coating by heating a saucepan and pouring the coconut milk in.  Let the coconut milk boil then add the brown sugar and stir continuously until the mixture thickens.  Turn off heat.  
7. Dip the fried balls into the coating then skewer.  (I forgot to buy skewer, so I used toothpick instead :D).

 Try it and enjoy!
