Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Tempe 10 slices
Garlic 1 large clove
Coriander 1 teaspoon
All-purpose flour 3 tablespoons heaping
Water As needed
Celery leaves To taste
Cooking oil For frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Mixture: Begin by finely grinding the garlic and coriander with a pinch of salt until smooth. Combine this paste with the all-purpose flour and enough water to create a thick batter. Add the chopped celery leaves and mix thoroughly until well incorporated.

  2. Coat the Tempe: Take each slice of tempe and dip it into the prepared batter, ensuring that it is evenly coated on all sides.

  3. Fry the Tempe: Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated tempe slices in the pan. Fry them until golden brown, making sure to maintain a moderate temperature to prevent burning.

  4. Repeat and Serve: Continue the process until all tempe slices are cooked. Serve the tempe mendoan warm, accompanied by green chili or sambal for dipping.

Enjoy this delightful Indonesian snack that pairs perfectly with your favorite condiments!
