Making Kuih Lemper
Today, I would like to share the recipe for Kuih Lemper, a traditional Javanese snack. I learnt this when I was visiting Kampung Sijangkang, a village in Kuala Langat where its population is primarily of Javanese descent. I was in the Eat.Travel.Write 4.0 delegation where we explored the different food of the people of that particular area.
So, here’s the recipe in Malay.
Bahan-bahan
1 biji kelapa
2 sudu besar gula
1 sudu besar lada sulah
1 batang serai
1 sudu besar garam
200ml santan pekat
*2 sudu besar ketumbar
*2 sudu besar udang kering
*1 sudu besar jintan manis
*1 sudu besar jintan putih
*3 biji bawang putih
*10 biji bawang merah
*2cm halia
*2cm lengkuas
Cara
1) goreng bahan-bahan bertanda *
2) selepas digoreng, tumbuk bahan tadi
3) 1 biji kelapa disanggang (goreng tanpa minyak)
4) kelapa ditumbuk dicampur bahan-bahan yang digoreng tadi
5) masukkan santan pekat dan kacau sehingga kering
6) masukkan garam, gula dan serai

I have never had this before. This looks like quite an interesting Malay cake. I can’t really tell what Javanese food is really like, but I’ve heard that it has influenced our food quite a lot. It reminds me a bit of those pulut bakar you find everywhere.
