Kuih Kasturi Or Kuih Rengas

It has been raining nonstop here and the wind was ever so strong. Going out now you have to be dressed like as though it is back to winter again. Therefore, we are spending most of our time indoor during the weekends. I do like staying home but am missing the walks that I normally take in the spring and summer. Anyways, being in-door I decided to entertain myself by cooking with ingredients that’s available in the pantry. Last week I managed to make ‘kuih kasturi or kuih rengas’ don’t know what they called this in English, but basically it is green bean paste fritters.

Ingredients for filling: green bean, palm sugar, a bit of salt (I do not use any coconut for the filling at all). Put to boil everything in a pot until the green bean turn to a thick paste.

Ingredients for batter: all-purpose flour, rice flour, water, salt and some turmeric (to give the yellow color). Combined everything together to make a thick batter, just make sure that your batter is not too watery, otherwise it will not stick on the green bean paste.

Method: once the green bean paste is cool, make them into small sized ball and pressed to flatten them, deep the ready pressed paste into the batter and deep fried for a couple of minutes.

It is very nice to go with hot green or fruit tea on a cold rainy spring day.
