Guest Post #4 ~ Kuih Spera

March 10, 2012


I was so thrilled when I received Pepy’s invite to be her guest post late last year, however due to my tight schedule I was unable to fulfill my part of the bargain immediately.

3 months later and here I am…

Thank you Pepy for the invite and my big Thank you, hugs and kisses for being so patience and understanding…

I invite you to Pepy's  Indonesia Eats, to read the rest of my post.
and while you are there... do check out her mouthwatering Indonesian cuisine...

Enjoy ...

150g shallots
10 pcs dried chillies

¼ teaspoon turmeric
10g galangal
2 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoon of coconut cream
½ to 1 cup of water*

½ tablespoon salt
95g margarine ~melts

9. Flatten each disc approximately 2mm thickness and add 1 tablespoon of filling.
10. Pinch the edges and crimp.
11. Heat about 2 cups of oil in a wok.
