Recipe Description
I always enjoyed Kuih Bingka and loved the sweet chewy taste of tapioca cake. Since we couldn’t go to the marts so much these days, I tried to make it by combining steamed cassava or tapioca with sago. Also had a bottle of butterfly pea I had been meaning to try. So, instead of using gula melaka, which would have tasted equally good, I used white sugar and added some to the translucent sago to create this light blue tinge.
The result is a chewy tapioca kuih with some bubble like effect on top. Loving this combination and would make it again!
