It has been 4 years...Need to start posting recipes more and more

My last post was in august 2011. Well, time flies.. so many things had happened. Okay, let's get started.

The craving for rempeyek, the traditional jawa kuih urged me to try and cook it myself. Living abroad..what do you expect? You cannot get it from the pasar tani or order it from wak jenab anymore. Luckily, everytime arwah wak siah make rempeyek for eid, I was there helping her or more accurately disturbing her..hahaha.. well, just recalled whatever tips she gave and as usual, the campak2 and agak2 recipe always do wonder to me...

here it goes...

Rempeyek (kacang tanah)..next on the list will be tumpi..

3/4 packet of rice flour  (this is what I found in the kitchen cabinet)
Kacang tanah (ground nuts) & some dried anchovies
1 egg
1 tin of coconut milk
2 tbsp garlic & ginger paste
2 tsp coriander powder
2 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp salt

sift the flour, beat the egg & add in the garlic & ginger paste,
combine all the dry ingredients
mixed everything til you get the batter

don't worry if you don't have the commercial mould of the rempeyek as the original rempeyek is not cook using that round mould.
take a spoonful of the batter, add the nuts (and some anchovies if you like it).. and slide the batter at the side of your deep fried pan... splash some hot oil at the side of the batter and the batter will glide down into the pan.. fry it til brown ...
