Day 22: Vegetable Fritters

Something to eat on the road.. la di dah! 

Original recipe is courtesy of Indochinekitchen here..

and here's how I did mine.

Dont worry about measurement. Have no fear.

Everything will turn out well...

.. eventually..

.. usually..

Start by chopping your vegetables. 

I used 3/4 can of corn, drained

6 long beans, chopped

 1 large red chili, deseed & chopped

In your pestle & mortar, 1 medium garlic, 2 candlenuts, several shallots. 

Pounded till turn into a paste.

Add in 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 white pepper, 1/2 tsp sugar,1/2 tsp coriander powder

Voila. 

And while rummaging my things, I found a can of beansprouts. 

Off they go to the bowl :)

Add 1 egg

5 heaping tbsp of flour (I actually used self raising flour, to make them fat :))

1 tbsp of chicken coating (I didn't have rice flour)

A little water.. don't worry about the exact measurement.

You'll soon see what I mean.

Mix them till they start gluing together and not too wet.

If still too wet, add in the flour. 

Scoop 1 tbsp into hot oil & deep fry till brown on all sides.

If you see them breaking (i.e. as in my case, several corns decided to fly solo), add in more flour

to form a thicker batter.

Don't worry. Drink a glass of wine.

Who cares it's 9am. Your kitchen. Your rules.

Don't forget to taste & adjust seasoning. 

Add salt, pepper or any seasoning if you wish.

Then fry one more.

Taste and adjust till you're happy.

I know my driver and I were very happy. 

"muito boa, madam"
