Corn Fritters


A couple of months back, I started a new visual blog called Malaysian Food Gallery (MFG). The initial idea of launching this blog was to attempt to highlight the diversity of the Malaysian cuisine, which includes my favorite recipes all in one location on the internet cloud. The initial idea expanded over time. I thought it would be a good idea to also showcase and share other delightful Asian recipes from other talented bloggers globally. Therefore, the final objective of this blog is to attempt to consolidate all the great Malaysian and Asian recipes from the many sources on the web for your easy access and reference. Recipes will be accompanied by high resolution photos that will surely please your visual palate! Contrary to it's name, the blog carries a self explanatory tagline about it's mission, "A Journey Beyond Delicious Asian Gastronomic Delights!". Do drop by MFG and provide your much needed support for the new blog and my little initiative.

With that brief introduction, I will like to start with this delicious Indonesian snack recipe from Jun of Indochine Kitchen. I made these Corn Fritters as an after-school snack and my kids love it! The recipe might look a tad long; but, rest assured it’s quite easy once you gather all the ingredients. It cooks really quick too. The only adjustment you might need to consider is the degree of heat/spiciness that you can handle. So, do adjust the quantity of chilies need to suit your taste buds accordingly. Enjoy!

2 Shallots, peeled

2 Cloves Garlic, peeled

2 Candlenuts or Blanched Almonds

    These sound delicious can't wait to try them. Do you think it would work with frozen corn? The fresh stuff is a few months off yet here...

    @foodblogandthedog: I don't see any reasons why it shouldn't work. Just remember to chop or grind up some of the corn. You will need the moisture from the corn to incorporate the flours.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
