Deep Fried Sesame Balls - 芝麻煎堆

Deep Fried Sesame Balls is one of the famous tea time snacks in Malaysia. The commoner is a famous and new year delicacy among chinese. The malays also has a similar type but commonly known as Kuih Bom. It is prepared with a mixture of glutinous flour and wheat/rice flour. The filling varies according to preference - green bean paste, red bean paste, lotus seed paste, peanut paste or dedicated coconut are some type of fillings that one can come across when biting into this traditional balls. My recipe is done with peanut paste and is really tasty. The finished balls are golden and chubby with the sesame seeds, the outer layer is crispy and the inner layer is soft and puffy.

There are different versions but the one I love most is made with durian.  Making dodol is a grand affair but also a time-consuming and back-breaking process. Expect to have some arm exercises at stirring the mixture vigorously for about 10 intervals or so - the stickier the texture the better it will taste, but upon reaching the final product the mixture won't be too sticky, only thick and rich.
