Serabi Solo


Akhirnyaaaaa bisa juga ikutan acara masak bareng setelah sekian lama absent dr dunia blogger karena sok sibuk, hehehhee. Karena temannya kali ini berbahan beras dan harus berupa kuliner indo. Maka pilihanku serabi ini, selain gampang dibuat, juga cemilan yang selalu bikin aku kangen pulang kampung halaman.


Serabi solo is popular tradisional pancakes made from rice powder, coconut milk and sugar. Sometimes they added chocolate chips, cheese or sliced fruits in the topping. Very popular in Solo (Central java) and you can find easily a long the Notokusuman's street.





Ingiderents:
-250 gr rice powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp instant yeast
-1/2 tsp vanili essence
-100 gr sugar
-300 ml thick coconut milk

1. Mixed all dry ingiderents, add egg then coconut milk
2. And make smooth paste
3. Heat a small non-stick wok, ideally a small curved bottom one to get rounded cup-like serabi
4. Pour approximately half 3 spoon of batter and quickly but gently swirl the pan around such that only a thin layer of the batter covers the sides and a thick layer collects at the bottom.
5. Cover with a lid and cook each till the edges have become golden crisp and start lifting off the wok. The centre should be soft and spongy.
6. Repeat until finish
Note: Just before serabi cooked, add topping as desired. serve while still hot

We love to eat fish, and fish always in our weekly's menu. Kudampuli was main spices used for fish curry in Kerala (south india), best thing to cook the fish on the clay pot (chatti) and kept for overnight and enjoy the fish curry in the next day. Kudampuli added the flavors and it also as the preservative. It has a sour taste.

I search on internet the advantage of kudampuli is known to treat stomach disorders and lower bad cholesterol. It is also used as a anti-obesity drug in the west. U can find easly kudampuli in any Indian shop near you ;)

Oil

For the seasoning
Oil - 1 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Fenugreek seeds - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves - few springs


Directions:
Cut the fish filets to pieces of desired size.

Soak the kudampuli in a cup of water and keep aside.

Heat oil in a deep pan, and fry the onions till translucent. Add ginger and garlic and saute till soft.
Mix the red chilli powder and turmeric powder with a few drops of water to make a paste. Add the spice paste to the pan and fry on low heat till the oil separates.
