Candil porridge is also known as salak seed porridge. The taste of this porridge is savory and sweet in the broth.
This porridge can be made from glutinous rice flour or tapioca flour. Depends on the taste that makes. Sometimes someone who has stomach acid doesn't want to risk making food from glutinous rice flour, because it can have an impact on the stomach getting sore, so the alternative flour used, namely tapioca flour which is safe for the stomach is also very good for the stomach.
In general, the porridge has a soft texture, in contrast to the texture of the candil porridge. Because the candil porridge material is made from tapioca flour or glutinous rice flour which is shaped into spheres or balls, the texture of this candil porridge is chewy like meatballs and there is a different sensation when we eat it in our mouth, like we eat meatballs but with a sweet taste.
The ingredients for making candil porridge are also not difficult and the ingredients needed are also not many and you can modify them according to your taste. For example, at this time we will make yellow yam candil porridge which is easier to find than purple sweet potatoes, if you don't have sweet potatoes or are difficult to get them, then there is no need to use sweet potatoes. you can just use the tapioca flour or just the glutinous rice flour.
And if you don't use a mixture of purple sweet potatoes or other ingredients that can contain color, such as carrots, dragon fruit, biat fruit and others, then to beautify your appearance you can play in coconut milk which will be mixed into the balls of the candil. such as a mixture of palm sugar, or brown sugar and others.
