Tub Tim Krob (red rubies with coconut milk)
#ThaiDessert
Though generally it’s water chestnuts for red rubies, I used sengkuang/sweet turnip and turned out fab as well.

#recipe:
Cut turnip into cubes and soak in water with red colouring (for about 30 mins).
Add 1 cup cassava/tepung ubi in a zip lock bag, add turnip and coat all over.
Shake off excess flour (see pic) and put in boiling water.

Simmer for 3 mins, drain and plunge in ice water.
To serve, put rubies in a bowl, add coconut milk (add a pinch of salt), sugar syrup (simmer sugar with pandan leaves) and ice cubes (optional).
