kuih cara berlauk

my favourite!..i like all types of savoury kuih...

my mum made this, but we used serunding as the filling...you can also use any other filling of your choice (i.e: curry puff filling, tuna)

my mum used the roti jala batter to make the batter for this kuih....

2 cup flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp tumeric powder

2 1/2 cup coconut milk

2 eggs

enough filling

fried shallot and daun sup

• blend everything until it becomes the "right" consistency (not too thick and not too thin)


• heat the mould on the stove, rub some oil onto the mould tho prevent the kuih becomes sticky to the mould


• 3/4 fill the mould with the batter. add in the filling and sprinkle some fired shallots and daun sup


• let cook and remove from mould using a fork or toothpick
