Onde Onde / Indonesian fried glutinous dumpling

Indonesia is rich in diversity of traditional food. Start from Tuber-based, soy, all kinds of flour, until the food based from Indonesia's vast ocean.

Feels proud to have such a diversity of taste and incomparable culinary wealth.

One is  "Onde-Onde" ( funny name, isn't it? ..). My favorite snack from my childhood. Onde-onde made of glutinous rice flour, shaped round like small balls containing sweet mashed mung beans and covered with sesame seeds.

And being far from home makes me want a little nostalgic, slightly reducing the homeland missing I make them on my small kitchen ... while my glutinous rice flour supplies from Indonesia are still there.
