Today we are going to the land of Indonesia. In this country assorted fritters are called Gorengan. Many kinds of fritters are made with various kinds of ingredients which are battered and deep fried. Bakwan usually refers to vegetable fritter commonly sold by street vendors in Indonesia. Because of its similarity Bakwan is often interchangeable with " perkedel" . For example Indonesian corn fritters are often called either 'perkedel jagung' or ' Bakwan jagung' .
Today for day 2 under the theme " bring on fritters" I have made a yummy fritter/ cake from Indonesia. These corn cakes are sweet and savory. My son specially loved these corn cakes. These are fried and served with palm sugar syrup which is added on top just before serving. Found this interesting recipe on You tube. Click here for the original recipe. Here goes the recipe......
Ingredients:
Corn Kernels 1 1/2 cup
Shallots 4
Garlic 2 cloves
Ginger 1 inch thick piece
Black pepper powder 1/2 spoon
All purpose flour 3 table spoons
Salt to taste
Sugar 1 spoon
Eggs 2
Palm Sugar / Jaggery 1/2 cup
Chili 2
Lime juice 2 spoons
Green onion / Spring onion 1/4 cup chopped
Preparation:
In a blender add 1 cup corn kernels, garlic, shallots, ginger and very little water to make a smooth paste.
Now add flour and 2 eggs to the corn paste and blend it again to a smooth batter.
Transfer this batter to a bowl and if you think the batter is too thin add some more flour and mix it well.
Add freshly ground black pepper, 1/2 cup corn kernels, chopped green or red chili, lime juice and chopped green onion.
Mix it well.
Heat oil on a deep frying pan.
Now with the help of spoon drop little batter at a time in to oil and fry till golden brown.
Now grate the palm sugar / Jaggery and add to a small sauce pan.
Add little water and boil to make a smooth syrup.
Do not boil for too long, see that the jaggery melts and becomes little thick , just like maple syrup.
Now transfer the fried corn cakes to a serving bowl and pour some syrup on top just before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds.
