Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- Cooking oil, as needed
- Salt, to taste

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spice Paste:
- Combine the bird’s eye chilies, red chilies, asam sunti, grated coconut, and shallots in a blender. Process until you achieve a smooth paste. Note: Avoid adding water to the blender as this will make the batter too watery. Instead, use a little oil if needed to help blend the spices.
-
Mix the Eggs:
- In a bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the prepared spice paste until well combined.
-
Cook the Dadar:
- Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading it evenly. Cook until the eggs are set and lightly golden on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Season and Serve:
- Season with salt to taste. Serve warm.
Tips:
-
Avoid Adding Water: When blending the spice paste, do not add water. The excess moisture can cause the texture of the egg to become dense and cake-like, with reduced airiness.
-
Use Oil for Blending: If the spice paste is too thick, use a small amount of cooking oil instead of water. This will help maintain the right texture for your dadar.
Enjoy this spicy and flavorful Telur Dadar Asam Sunti as a delicious addition to your meal, or as a standalone treat that will surely impress!
