Tempe 5 pieces
Grated Coconut 1/4 piece
Bird’s Eye Chili 5 pieces
Garlic 3 cloves
Salt To taste
Seasoning Powder To taste
Cooking Oil As needed
Rice Flour 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Begin by grinding the bird’s eye chili, garlic, seasoning powder, and salt together until you achieve a smooth paste. This forms the flavorful base of your dish.
  2. Next, add the tempe to the chili-garlic mixture and continue grinding until well combined, ensuring the tempe absorbs all the vibrant flavors.
  3. Incorporate the grated coconut and rice flour into the mixture, mixing thoroughly until the dough is smooth and can be easily shaped.
  4. Heat a sufficient amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the tempe mixture into the oil, frying until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Ento-Ento Tempe as a savory snack or side dish!
