Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 200 grams | Tempe |
| 2 cloves | Garlic |
| 1 small packet | Coriander |
| To taste | Ground pepper |
| To taste | Turmeric powder |
| To taste | Salt |
| 1 stalk | Green onion |
| 1 stalk | Celery |
| 4 tablespoons | All-purpose flour (I use Segitiga) |
| As needed | Water (to make a thick batter) |
Instructions
- Begin by finely grinding the garlic and coriander together to create a fragrant paste.
- In a mixing bowl, combine this paste with the all-purpose flour, ground pepper, turmeric powder, and salt, stirring until well incorporated.
- Slice the tempe into thin pieces, then immerse them in the prepared batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and carefully add the battered tempe pieces. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes on each side.
- For a variation, you can also prepare a wetter batter for a softer texture, reminiscent of tempe mendoan. Adjust cooking time as necessary to achieve your desired doneness.
