Quick and easy !

As student, I tend to get stress easier. Different people has different ways to relief their stress. For me, the best way to relief stress was by cooking what ever I'm craving for. But, I am still young and have not so much experience in cooking. So I like to cook something simple recipe and what I like the most is 'Cucur Udang' or 'Prawn Fritters'.

Ingredients,

For the fritters:
  • 300 g plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • tsp salt100 g onion, sliced thinly
  • 60 g carrot, finely shredded
  • 60 g Chinese chives, cut into 4 cm lengths
  • 300 g prawns, shelled and de-veined
  • 400 ml water

For the chilli sauce:
  • 12 fresh red chillies (240 g), sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 4 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 4 Tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 4 Tbsp water

Method:
  1. Filter flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the carrot, onion, prawns and chinese chives. Then, stir in water and mix well.
  2. Heat the oil in a shallow pan on medium heat. Test the heat by placing a small drop of batter into the oil (if it sizzles, the oil is ready). Drop tablespoonfuls of batter into the oil, one by one. Fry until lightly puffed and golden brown on both sides. Drain well in a wire basket. Fry fritters in batches until all the batter is used up.
  3. Meanwhile, measure all the ingredients of the chilli sauce into a blender and blend finely. Transfer into a small bowl. Serve the fritters hot or warm, accompanied with chilli sauce.
Yummy ! It was so tempting !

  3. Thanks for the recipe. I have a question, I can't eat seafood actually. Can I replace with other ingredient instead of using prawn? Is the taste will be the same or not?

    1. You can replace with another raw materials besides prawn but the taste will be slightly different. Don't try it with prawn or any seafood if you have this kind of allergy. You can try our previous recipe if you like or change the prawn to chicken or meat. :DD Thank you! :))

    1. It not a must to serve it with chilli sauce. If you like tomato sauce or tomato ketchup better, you can also serve it. To serve it with soy sauce ketchup is rarely people do that. You can try it using a soy sauce ketchup but I don't guarantee it will taste good. hehehe :P
