This food is usually sold as street food together with fried tofu in batter, banana in batter and others. But buying sometimes can be concerning, so better make it my self.Bala-bala comes from the word "bala" which means "messy" or "dirty" in Sundanese (one of our local dialects, usually spoken in West Java) maybe because the shape of it is a lil bit messy so they call this that way.Anyway, have a try!

#indonesianfood #vegetarian #veganfriendlyI was so craving with Indonesian deep fried snacks lately. So today I made this vegetables fritters for myself since my hubby is not really fans of any deep fried food. I choose vegetables fritters, because it’s very easy to make and also less ingredients. I can used any vegetables that I have in my fridge, then just adding flour, season with seasoning, mix together and fry it. Sounds easy right? Indeed, it is easy.By the way actually in Indonesia there are many kind of vegetables fritters. But normally they have similar ingredients and seasoning but some other region has different way of how to fried. In East Java, they’re using ladle to shape the batter and deep frying it. It’s called Weci, Heci, or Ote-ote. In West Java they’re simply just dropping the batter with the spoon into the hot oil and fried it. It’s called Bala-bala. So this time I am going to make bala-bala and I am simply using West Java methods to frying the vegetables fritters. Okay... let’s check on the ingredients and how to make it.

This is a classic and awesome breakfast sandwich, the BAM is nothing short of a legend

‘Balado’ is an Indonesian stir-fry chili sauce dish. It’s originated from Minang cuisine of Sumatra island. The ingredients are similar to Indonesian ‘sambal’ (chili sauce). But unlike ‘sambal’ which is often treated as a separate dipping condiment, ‘balado’ chili sauce is usually mixed and stir fried together with its main ingredients and treated as a dish. (Source: Wikipedia) It’s one of the side dishes that I cooked together with my ‘yellow rice’ (check out my previous post). IG @jenscookingdiary

My boyfriend and I ate a late and glutinous lunch at Applebee's. ( one time a year treat). We both love baba ganoosh and compromised on an "easy Saturday night dinner of dips." Which of course turned into finding the perfect homemade eggplant dip and purchasing ingredients at the grocery store like black garlic and tahini-- "easy" but did not disappoint!

A delicious snacks goes well with chutney and hot tea.#rstea
