Fancy glutinous rice balls

Overview

The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is here, so I made some fancy glutinous rice balls today, but I didn’t have glutinous rice flour and fillings at home, so I had to use local materials. I put a bag of glutinous rice in a food processor and beat it into glutinous rice flour. I roasted a few purple sweet potatoes and mixed them with condensed milk as filling.
