JEMPUT2 TEPUNG ATTA

Jemput2  Tepung Atta or fried fritters is a popular snack in Singapore and Malaysia . There are so many types to choose from, it can be sweet or savory. What I'm sharing here is made of wheat flour, onion, water and other ingredients then drop a spoonful of batter into hot oil. This is very versatile dish you can add prawn, sausage, vegetable, chicken or leave it plain if you want. Instead of wheat flour I used atta (whole wheat flour) and mashed tofu. Taste great if serve with chili or tomato sauce.
