TEMPEH FRITTERS/CUCUR TEMPEH RECIPE

Fritters or cucur  are popular in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei normally fried in hot oil serve during breakfast or tea time like this Tempeh Fritters/Cucur Tempeh.

With just a basic ingredients of flour, water and salt, you can make them sweet or savory.   Other variations include  prawn,chicken or meat to the batter.

For vegetarian omit the  eggs and  include veggies like carrot, bean sprout, potato, tofu and many more. Mine use tempeh (fermented soya bean cake) instead,

Use self rising flour if you  have but omit the baking powder.  Omit chili powder or reduce it according to your preference.

When frying the Tempeh Fritters/Cucur Tempeh, use a medium heat so it  doesn't turn brown fast but inside still uncooked.   Also  do not crowd the pan, give room for you to turn them if one side turns golden.

Serve with chili or tomato sauce but I prefer to eat them as it is.

HOMEMADE HASH BROWNS RECIPE

My first attempt making hash browns at home.  Am using fresh new potato.

With simple ingredients this Homemade Hash Browns are a new addition to our breakfast list.  Shredded potato is soaked in cold water to remove the starch. Drain and wrap with towel to remove excess water.

I find it a bit tricky to make since this  Homemade Hash Browns do not include flour or eggs to clump together.

Out of this recipe I get 2 x 6 in round hash browns.  My 1st one, turned out great with perfect size.  But had problem with the second one.  It breaks when I flip it.

What I did was remove them from the pan and shape into cutlets.  Mine looks darker in color due to addition of chili powder.  You may omit this if you don.t like a spicy hash browns.

Despite the hiccups, they came out  extremely tasty even my 1st one has been eaten immediately and I have no chance to  snap the photo.  We ate them as it is without any sauce.
