purple sweet potato rice cake

Purple Sweet Potato Rice Cake is fried glutinous rice flour with ube jam filling rolled in sesame seeds. This recipe is inspired how we make Palitaw and Sesame Balls (Buchi) so my niece and I decided to create one that is a combination of both. It is very easy to make, not too sweet and delicious! 

For this recipe, you can use a ready made Halaya or Ube Jam but you can also make it from scratch if you like.
