Gendang Kasturi – Green Bean Fritters
This is a sweet Malay Kueh which is quite common in Singapore and Malaysia. Here’e how to make this delicious treat:
Ingredients
Green Beans 300g
Sugar 150g
Grated Skinned Coconut 150g
Plain Flour 40g
Salt 1/2 tsp
Cooling oil to deep fry
Ingredients for the batter
Rice Flour 120g
Plain Flour 60g
Egg 1, beaten lightly
Ground Turmeric – a pinch
Lime Juice – a couple of drops
Salt 1/2 tsp
Water 120ml
Directions
Boil the green beans until they are tender, adding more water when necessary. When the beans have broken up and most of the liquid has been absorbed or evaporated, add the sugar, coconut, plain flour and salt. Stir the mixture until it is very mushy. Remove from heat and cool.
Shape a portion of the mixture (about the sixe of a small egg) and shape it into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly to make about 1cm thick patties. Continue making patties until there is no more mixture left.
Combine all the batter ingredients till you get a smooth consistency. You may add just enough water to acheive that.
Heat the cooking oil for deep frying. Coat the patties with the batter, and then deep fry until it is crisp. Remove and drain well before serving.
It can be served hot or cool.
