Dutch Fried Plantains (SANGGARA BALANDA) Dutch Fried Plantains (SANGGARA BALANDA)
Sanggara Balanda is cake like banana fritters that were coated a batter to add to the deliciousness. SANGGARA in Bugis-Makassar, South Sulawesi means "fried bananas". While BALANDA is the nickname given by the Bugis for Dutch citizens when they invaded the country Angin Mamiri. So it could be interpreted "Sanggara Balanda" is "Netherlands fried bananas". Although only a simple traditional food, reputedly Dutch citizens really like this cake.Unknown reason behind why there is a Dutch name it. Is it because first it was originally a culinary dessert commonly eaten by the Dutch colonists? Or because the fried bananas are different from the usual fried bananas, which are only dipped in flour?Sanggara Balanda is one cake that must appear in traditional events Bugis-Makassar. This cake is often encountered when eating at Bosara. Like pastries typical of other Bugis incredible sweets, Sanggara Balanda is also loaded with sugar and eggs.A characteristic of this cuisine is you must use good plantain that are ripe, and should not use another banana because it has different aroma and taste. Plantains are high in sugar content, so it will undergo a caramelization process when fried that produces a distinctive aroma.The bananas are fried twice. The first to get the distinctive aroma of fried plantains, and second to coat with the egg batter. If directly dipped and fried, it will be a different aroma. Again, in this recipe you can not use other bananas, and should use ripe plantain once there is no sign of its astringent taste. The purpose of stuffing the filling in while still hot is so that the sugar melts. Later it will just look like the peanuts and sugar turned into sauce. It will be more enjoyable eaten in a cold state.In this recipe, I serve in a little bit different way, i.e. with extra milk in the stuffing and sauce mix ... Dapoer-Indonesia @ us -
Fried Fermented Cassava (RONDHO ROYAL / MONYOS) Fried Fermented Cassava (RONDHO ROYAL / MONYOS)
Rondho/Rondo Royal or Monyos is one of the typical Jepara traditional snack made of rice flour filled with TAPE and cooked, especially if presented still warm taste it'll be more delicious. A blend of sweet and sour taste of the TAPE and the saltiness of rice flour is very pronounced in this rondho royal, also crispiness on the outside and tenderness on the inside give nice texture while enjoying it. In the cooking process, the TAPE that is in use is cassava instead of sticky tape.It remains unclear origin of the name of the royal rondo, but if we observe from the rondho royal word we can slightly understand the meaning. RONDHO in the Java language can be interpreted widow, and ROYAL can be interpreted luxury. So that could mean "luxury widow". Maybe once the food is found by a luxurious widow so called Rondho Royal.But in the Java language, said RONDO can be taken from the word "rodo^ / rada^" or "mondo" which means "almost/slightly resembles”. So Rondo Royal can be interpreted "little luxury". Maybe once, this food is a food that is luxurious for the people --- first Dutch era, many snacks that may not be affordable for people to make (such Bitterballen, Croquete, Poffertjes, Oliebollen and others).The name is still a mystery, and it remains unclear origins, but the name is exactly the uniqueness in traditional food of this one that makes people’s become curious when heard it and wanted to try a bite. In Jepara southern part, these foods are also often called "MONYOS", but in other areas there is also a call "FRIED TAPE".Way of making this recipe is very easy and can be practiced with the children at home, and for the following ingredients I could make as much as 20 dots dough.

Rhizomes of this plant contain essential oils and alkaloids are used as a stimulant. Kencur name borrowed from Sanskrit, kachora, कचोर, which means white meeting (Curcuma zedoaria).Other names are cekur (Malaysia) and pro hom (Thailand). There is also a close relative kencur commonly grown in the garden as a medicinal plant, meeting Rapet (K. rotunda Jacq.), but easily distinguishable from the leaves.In the international literature (English) often causes confusion by calling kencur as lesser galangal (Alpinia officinarum) and zedoary (ginger and white), which is actually a different species and is not substitute to the spice.

Sawahlunto’s Pancake (ALE-ALE Serabi) Sawahlunto’s Pancake (ALE-ALE Serabi)
Ale-ale is a typical dish from the hamlet Tangah Sawah, village Silungkang Duo - municipalities Sawahlunto, in West Sumatra province, and also in the Muaro Sijunjung and Solok areas. It looks like a famous pancake that comes from a Java island (called SERABI), but it does not use coconut milk so it has a different flavor and is tasty and soft.This pancake has existed since the epoch of our ancestors. It's unknown why it's called ALE-ALE. It is usually made from rice flour, coconut milk, palm sugar and grated pandan water. These cakes can be found during the morning (sold by a vendor from dawn/Subuh until 6 o'clock in the morning), and is always used as a breakfast food by local communities --- besides Bubu samba.With delicacy and its distinctive aroma, this food has become much loved by the consumers. This snack can be eaten by anyone, from children to adults. Ale-ale was even requested for any events outside Silungkang, such as Jakarta and other areas.During the EXHIBITION and FASHION SHOW SONGKET SILUNGKANG at Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) Cikini - Central Jakarta on 30-31 October 2012, ale-ale was served to fill the Los Lambung (food stand) at the event --- alongside Coki, Lupi (lupis), Soup and Soto.TIPS : To speed up the fermentation process, placed the bowl of dough over a bowl of warm water. But always keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t get too many bubbles in the dough because it will make the dough sour (excessive fermentation).Here is the recipe "ALE-ALE Serabi ala Sawahlunto" which I tried to make ...

Ponzu Sauce for Steamed Buns Ponzu Sauce for Steamed Buns
My home is in Hakata, Kyushu (southern Japan). The steamed buns sold at convenience stores there come with a vinegar soy sauce and Japanese mustard.When I moved to the Kanto area and found that steamed buns aren't eaten this way, I was very surprised. That is why I want to share this recipe with you.You can tear open the bun and pour in the sauce, or put the sauce on a small plate for dipping. The bun is very tasty if it soaks up the sauce.Try cooking frozen buns by passing them through a stream of running water before wrapping them in plastic, without sealing the wrap. This will produce moist and fluffy buns. Recipe by Remonja. cookpad.japan
