Klepon is a typical Indonesian dessert, popular in Indonesia and Malaysia. Klepon dough made from glutinous rice flour mixed with rice flour and water, shaped like small ball and stuffed with gula jawa (palm sugar) and served with grated coconut. Klepon is green because it is flavored with pandan and suji paste, but if you can’t get pandan and suji leaves you can substitute it with pandan paste.
