2. Chop the Basil: Finely chop the fresh basil leaves, allowing their fragrant aroma to blend seamlessly into the mixture.

3. Mix Ingredients: Combine the mashed tofu with the chopped basil, grated coconut, and the ground spice mixture, which includes garlic, shallots, whole pepper, salt, and bouillon powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

4. Taste Test: To ensure the flavors are balanced, take a small portion of the mixture, shape it into a small patty, and fry it in a pan until golden brown. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

5. Form the Fritters: Shape the mixture into flat, round patties using a spoon or your hands. Aim for a consistent thickness for even cooking.

6. Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the oil. Allow them to fry undisturbed until the bottom is golden and crisp before flipping. This prevents the fritters from breaking apart.

7. Serve: Once cooked through and golden on both sides, remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
