Instructions

Prepare the Tempe: Begin by breaking the tempe into small pieces, using your hands to crumble it thoroughly.
-
Make the Spice Mixture: In a blender, combine the garlic, ground coriander, salt, turmeric, and kaffir lime leaf. Add enough water to create a smooth paste.
-
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and rice flour. Pour in the spice mixture, mixing until it forms a thick batter. Ensure the consistency is not too runny, and adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Incorporate the Tempe: Gently fold the crumbled tempe and sliced green onions into the batter until well-coated.
-
Fry the Tempe: Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated tempe into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Serve: Remove the crispy tempe from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
