- Preparation: 5 min
- Cooking: 6 min
- Makes: 1 serving (121 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
- Contains: egg
Ingredients
- 50 g Rice flour
- 40 g Coconut milk, canned
- 10 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.2 g Turmeric
- 0.5 g Salt
- 20 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Whisk the rice flour, coconut milk, egg, turmeric and salt into a smooth, medium-thick batter with no lumps.
- Heat the oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F), and heat a kokis mold in the oil for a minute.
- Dip the hot mold into the batter to coat, then lower it back into the hot oil and fry, wiggling gently, until the shape releases from the mold, about 1-2 minutes.
- Continue frying the released shape for another 1-2 minutes until golden-brown and crisp all over.
- Drain on paper towels and let cool completely; kokis turn very crisp as they cool, and keep well in an airtight container.
