About the dish

Kuih keria are Malaysian deep-fried doughnuts that are made from sweet potatoes. After they are steamed and mashed, the potatoes are combined with flour to form a pliable dough that is then shaped into doughnut rings. Unlike other types of doughnuts, this version is not leavened, resulting in somewhat denser texture. After they have been fried, the doughnuts are usually sugar-glazed or generously coated in white or palm sugar (gula melaka).
