Kuih Rose Recipe

kuih rosWarning: This will seriously impress even your mother-in-law!

Malaysian desserts or Kuih are normally very sweet! Kuih rose is kind of different as it is deep fried: most likely from the Indian cuisine.

But in the melting pot of all food in Malaysia, the origin is less important than the delicious taste!

Further on Kuih rose is quite addictive: better take out a few and put the rest away!

But best off all: you can make Kuih rose yourself and it’s quite easy. Surprise your family with this afternoon treat and a great cup of tea or coffee.

Kuih Rose Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 grated coconut add 375ml (12 3/4 fluid ounce) water, mix, then squeeze for coconut milk
  • 100g (3,5 ounce) castor sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten lightly
  • Oil for deep frying

Sift:

  • 125g (4 3/8 ounce) rice flour
  • 125g (4 3/8 ounce) plain flour

Kuih Rose Recipe Preparation

You will need a Kuih rose brass mould.

  1. Combine sugar and coconut milk. Use a handheld wire whisk to mix both ingredients until sugar has dissolved.
  2. Add in the egg and whisk till well blended.
  3. Strain the mixture through a wire mesh sieve.
  4. Stir in sifted flour and mix to form a smooth batter. If the batter is a bit thick, add a little more water until the consistency feels just right.
  5. Heat oil in a wok. Put in the brass mould to heat up. The mould has to be hot enough for batter to cling on it.
  6. When it becomes hot enough, remove the mould and dip into the batter. Make sure batter coats only the bottom and sides of mould.
  7. Place coated mould in hot oil. Shake to release from mould. If required, use wooden chopsticks to help releasing.
  8. Deep-fry the batter till it turns golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove the Kuih rose from the oil, then drain and leave to cool on absorbent kitchen paper.
  10. Store Kuih rose in airtight containers.

Civet cat coffee

civet cat coffeeWhat has a civet cat to do with coffee?

Well, the civet cat is to coffee as the alchemist is to lead: the latter turns lead into gold and the first turns coffee into … coffee even more expensive than gold (or almost…).

How does the civet cat attribute to the price of coffee? By eating the coffee beans and … expelling them afterwards! Isn’t that a great way to make a living!

As with all things coffee, unfortunately the creatures closest to the coffee don’t see anything of the huge amounts of profits made by selling coffee. Civet cats don’t have a union, which makes them not earning even a penny for there priceless job!
