Instructions

Prepare the Spice Mixture: Begin by grinding the coriander, shallots, garlic, and turmeric into a smooth paste. This blend will infuse your batter with rich flavors.
-
-
Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine the ground spices with the all-purpose flour and water, mixing until you achieve a smooth batter. Be careful not to make it too runny; it should be thick enough to coat the tempeh.
-
Coat the Tempeh: Dip the cut tempeh pieces into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated. If you’re using green onions, you can mix them in or sprinkle on top before frying.
-
Fry the Tempeh: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, gently place the battered tempeh in the oil. Fry until golden brown, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Serve: Once the tempeh is crispy and has turned a beautiful golden color, remove it from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy this crispy delicacy!
