Jenang Grendul

I was in the discussion with my friends about Indonesian desserts where I finally decided to make “Jenang Grendul”.  I never heard this kind of food before, I thought….. I ever ate this food at my hometown, Surabaya…but maybe I didn’t know exactly the name.  Then I encourage my self to make this dessert, and fortunately…. I find this recipe in my cooking book, foolish me!!!!!!!….this recipe is in my cooking book, but I didn’t know at all. So….. I didn't need more time to postpone cooking it.

"Jenang Grendul" is made from glutinous flour combined with rice flour, serve with sweet rice flour sauce and topped with savory coconut milk. Glance…it similar with “Biji Salak” but biji salak made from sweet potato and sago flour, both of these foods had a chewy texture.
