My husband brought back about 2 kg of tapioca and wanted me to make something with it. Immediately I thought kuih bingka which I wanted to try long time.
In order to make Kuih Bingka, cassava need to be grated finely but I was too lazy to grate it manually! So I decided to grind it. This made the Kuih Bingka making a lot easier. With my heavy duty “blender”, Thermomix I added cut (small pieces) cassava along with other ingredients and ground till fine batter. Then, poured the batter into prepared pan and baked! Sound easy? With this recipe you can use finely grated cassava or even frozen one.
