Ingredients for Purple yam dessert
Tip: When selecting purple yams, opt for ones that are a moderate size, neither too big nor too small. Look for yams with smooth skin, free from any signs of mold or rot. Choose yams that feel heavy for their size, as they tend to have denser and tastier flesh.

Once the yam is soft, lower the heat and remove the pandan leaves. Add in the rock sugar and granulated sugar, stirring continuously with a whisk until the yam breaks down.
