🧂 Ainekset
- 2 pounds Dasheen(peeled and cut into small cubes)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 medium Onion(finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt(to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper(to taste)

👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Peel and wash the dasheen, then cut it into small cubes.
- 2
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become soft and translucent.
- 3
Add the dasheen cubes to the pot, along with the thyme leaves. Stir well to coat the dasheen with the butter, onion, and garlic mixture.
- 4
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the coconut milk into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
- 5
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the dasheen to simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until it becomes tender.
- 6
Once the dasheen is cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. The consistency should be thick enough to form into balls.
- 7
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the dasheen mixture into the oil.
- 8
Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- 9
Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer.
