Coconut does not dominate the croquettes but leaves a precise flavour to the croquettes.. You will love it along with the sweet potato mixture. When i had the first bite, it tasted beautiful.. Sesdame seeds gave a nice crunch along with the softness of the potato mixture.. When served with chilli garlic sauce it tastes more better..
