Instructions
-
Prepare the Tempeh: Begin by slicing the tempeh into triangular pieces, then make a slit down the middle of each piece and set aside.
-
-
Make the Filling: In a pan, heat a little oil and sauté the shallots and garlic until fragrant. Add the bird’s eye chilies and tomato, cooking until softened. Once cooked, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Season with salt and jaggery to taste, adjusting as necessary for a balance of flavors.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the spice mixture, adding enough water to create a smooth batter that can coat the tempeh. Adjust the consistency by adding more flour or water as needed.
-
Stuff the Tempeh: Carefully fill the slits in the tempeh pieces with the prepared chili-tomato mixture, ensuring they are well-packed.
-
Coat and Fry: Dip each filled piece of tempeh into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and gently place the battered tempeh into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning as needed for even cooking.
-
Serve: Once the tempeh is a beautiful golden hue, remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy this spicy treat with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
