When we were small, there were always goreng pisang, cucur kodok, cucur bawang, tepung talam, pulut sekaya..and my fav cucur ikan bilis..served with hot tea..kena pulak time hujan..heaven...
I still like the idea of having tea with any hot stuff in the afternoon, so mostly every weekend we'll have something on the table either from the food stall or from my own kitchen.
Yesterday, with Hadif on his baby chair and Sufiya running around in the kitchen, I managed to prepare my cucuq ikan bilis.
Bahan-bahan:
Ikan bilis yang sudah dibelah dua (better invest on the best quality)
Tepung gandum
Sedikit sebuk kunyit
Sedikit tepung soda (baca label pd botol)
Bawang besar - dihiris
Daun sup - dihiris (kalau ada taugeh pun ok)
Cili merah - finely chopped
Sedikit garam
Air
Minyak masak
.........
Gaul sebati semua bahan.
Panaskan minyak
Masukkan bancuhan kedalam kuali, guna sudu atau tangan untuk mendapatkan bentuk yg dikehendaki..mine was always not a desirable look :-P
Angkat bila dah kuning2
Hidang dengan air teh atau kopi panas...
p/s cucur ikan bilis sedap dicicah dengan sos chili thai atau kuah sambal yang dicampur dengan kacang tanah
