Brilio.net - Vegetable fritters are always a favorite snack that is appetizing. The combination of thinly sliced fresh vegetables and savory flour dough creates a perfect harmony of flavors in every bite. It is no wonder that vegetable fritters are often the main choice for various events, from social gatherings to relaxing afternoons with family.
However, the main challenge in making vegetable fritters is maintaining their crispiness, especially after they cool down. Many people are disappointed when the vegetable fritters that have just been fried perfectly turn mushy a few moments later. This is often caused by the moisture of the vegetables and improper frying techniques.
In addition, the flour dough used also has a big influence. In some cases, some people even add cooking oil or margarine to the dough to make it crispier. In addition, there are also those who use baking soda when mixing vegetable fritter dough.
In addition to these ingredients, you can use other ingredients like Instagram user @melizah21 did. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted to only adding one simple ingredient. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @melizah21 on Wednesday (2/10), the ingredient in question is betel lime.
So before, prepare the vegetables and the fritter dough. Make sure the vegetables are dry, then slice them into small pieces. Then put them in a container. If so, mix with all the flour dough and various spices. Then dissolve and stir until smooth.
Next, mix the lime with water, then dissolve it. Now, take 1 tablespoon of the lime water, then pour it into the vegetable fritter mixture. Make sure you don't add a lot of lime because it can make the fritters taste bitter. After that, stir again until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
This ready-made vegetable fritter dough can be fried directly. Make sure you fry it in hot oil and plenty. Then do not fry it at once in large quantities because later, the fritters can be soft. Fry enough until it is really crispy and cooked.
Having been watched more than 78 thousand times, this video about the trick of making vegetable fritters immediately caught the attention of netizens. Many other Instagram users then gave direct responses in the comments column. Most even admitted that they wanted to try it directly.
"Try it sometime," said Instagram @rumahummuayri.
"Give it a try... while the betel lime is still available," said Instagram @ummazha2.
"When I make dents I use whiting, it's guaranteed to be crispy," said Instagram @ni.ghinaa.
"Never tried it, sis... I usually only use rice flour, thanks for the tips, sis," wrote the Instagram account @sina_afan.
"I also often use whiting water for fried foods," commented the Instagram account @sharajevoo.
