Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and Royco seasoning. Add water gradually, stirring until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 2
Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough for frying but not smoking.

Tips for Success:
Batter Consistency: Ensure the batter is not too thick or too runny. It should coat the tempe evenly without dripping off.
Frying: Use medium heat to fry so that the tempe cooks evenly and doesn’t burn too quickly.
Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste. You can add chili powder for extra spice or a pinch of turmeric for a vibrant color.
