Brilio.net - Fried food is a favorite snack for many people because of its delicious taste and crunchy texture. There are many types of fried food, and one of the most popular is vegetable fritters. In addition to being easy to find on the market, vegetable fritters are also practical to make at home.

Making your own fritters at home is more delicious because you can enjoy them while they are warm. Warm vegetable fritters, especially when eaten with cayenne pepper or your favorite sauce, can make it hard to stop eating. The key to delicious vegetable fritters is that they don't absorb a lot of oil.

However, many are still confused about how to make crispy vegetable fritters that do not absorb much oil. Now, you don't need to worry anymore. There is a trick from a netizen named Ghaziya who shares how to make thick vegetable fritters that are still crispy and do not absorb much oil.

"Simple version of vegetable fritters, this one is long-lasting crispy. You can choose the vegetables, as usual I use carrots, cabbage, and spring onions, the vegetables are again adjusted to taste," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Ghaziya Warita on Monday (7/10).

After all the vegetables are cut, prepare the fine seasoning ingredients from salt, mushroom stock, peppercorns, garlic, and shallots. You can grind the fine seasoning with a mortar or puree it with a blender. When it is smooth, mix it with enough margarine and grind it again until smooth.

The function of this margarine, in addition to adding a savory taste to the vegetable fritters, also prevents oil from seeping into the fritters when they are fried later. According to Ghaziya, this method is also simpler because the margarine does not need to be melted at all.

"I don't heat the margarine, it's a bit simpler and more practical without having to wash dishes or pans. So it's directly blended and the taste is the same," said Ghaziya.

Transfer the smooth spice mixture into a basin or bowl, then mix with wheat flour, seasoned flour, boiled water, and chopped vegetables. Finally, there is one more mainstay ingredient to make vegetable fritters more delicious, which is a little baking powder.

"In addition to making the food rise, baking powder is also used to crisp up fried foods and reduce the oiliness of fried foods. Of course, it does not add a bitter taste to fried foods," said Ghaziya.

When the dough is ready, it's time to fry it. First, heat enough oil over medium heat. When the oil is really hot, put in the bakwan dough one by one and fry until browned on both sides.

"If the oil is not hot enough when frying fried food made from flour like this, it will still taste raw or still have a floury taste. Also, after draining, the fried food will be twice as oily as if the oil was not hot enough," said Ghaziya.

Ghaziya also explained, if there is still vegetable fritter dough left and you don't want to fry it right away, you can store it first. The method is, simply cover the bowl or basin containing the fritter dough with plastic or a plate, then put it in the refrigerator chiller. After investigating, even if stored for 1 day, the dough will not turn sour or stale, you know.
