Ginataang Halo-halo

This is another recipe that my wife prepared and she said that we were not able to complete it because some ingredients are missing and we cannot buy it since it is not the season and not available like the jackfruit.

We have our banana plantain but it is still green and unripe so she did not included it. What we had prepared was the sweet potato, yam, pearl balls or tapioca balls and the bilo-bilo which is made from glutinous rice.

You just need to be patient on grinding the glutinous rice and make a dough out of it. After that you need to make a ball in your palm and set it aside. Boil water first for your sweet potato and yam. You need to put the yam first because it is harder to get cook than the sweet potato. Once the yam is 65-70% done, then add your sweet potato.

By the way my wife already prepared in advance to cook the pearl balls or tapioca balls. It is just smaller balls so it took only 20 minutes for them to get cooked and she already added sugar into it. Once your sweet potato and yam is ready, you can now add the balls made from glutinous or sweet rice. You can now pour the can of coconut milk into the pot and stir it well hoping that the glutinous balls would not get sticky at the bottom of your pan. Don’t forget to include sugar in cooking this recipe. The last that you need to add is your ready cooked pearl balls.

simply delicious

If you have jackfruit you can include it too. For the extra added scent you may include pandan leaves but since there is none here, you can also try to buy the concentrated one which is available in the market. Although as I have said, this is just optional and we have not included this on our recipe due to lack of time to search.
