Cendol | Green Jellies

Eating all these Indian food sure makes you thirsty, so today Super Marios will share a local favorite dessert- Cendol! 

There is a popular belief in Indonesia that the name "cendol" is related to, and originated from, the word jendol; in Javanese,Sundanese and Indonesian, jendol means "bump" or "bulge", in reference to the sensation of drinking and swallowing the green worm-like rice flour jelly. Here are some ways to make this amazing dessert.

125 gr rice flour 
50 gr sago flour
75 cc pandan leaves water (boil water with pandan leaves until it has green colour) 
450 cc water
salt as needed
200 gr palm sugar, boil with 125 cc of water until it dissolves. Strain the palm sugar water and boil again. Set your cendol aside.
500 cc of coconut milk. Boil and set aside to cool.
1 can of jackfruit in syrup, cut into small bite-sized pieces ( optional )

Steps:

1. Mix rice flour and sago flour, then mix it with some of the water.
2. Boil the rest of the water, add green pandan leaves water and salt.
3. Put the flour mixtures into the boiled water.
4. Stir well and cook until it thickens (paste-like).
5. Drain with special cendol strain ( usually the strainer has round holes ), so when we press the cendol mixture it will go out of the strain as roundish short cendol.
6. Put these cendol directly into a bowl with water and ice in it.
7. Cendol will be solid and then drain them again. Set aside.

Serving: Put some cendol into a tall glass, pour palm sugar syrup and coconut milk ( seperate layers ). You can add shaved ice or just ice cubes.

Now u can enjoy your home-made cendol !
