When Siti came over to my house with some
Nagasari cakes (steamed banana rice cakes), I was pleasantly surprised how yummy it was. Creamy on the outside with a white puddingy texture and sweet in the inside, it makes a wonderful snack anytime of the day. Made only from flour, coconut milk, sugar and bananas, and wrapped in banana leaves - it's a wonder how the simple ingredients can produce such a delicious dessert! And the best part is, it takes only 10 minutes to prepare. Try it, I'm sure you're going to enjoy this traditional Indonesian dessert. Thank you Siti for the Nagasari recipe.

  • 6 ripe bananas (suitable for steaming such as pisang raja, pisang nangka, etc)
  • 3 cups rice flour
  • 3 cups coconut milk, squeezed from 1 grated coconut
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Banana leaves, for wrapping

Directions:
1. Slice bananas lengthwise into half. 2. Combine flour, coconut milk, sugar and salt in a pot. Cook over medium heat, constantly stirring until mixture is thick. 3.

Risoles is one of popular appetizers in Indonesia. It looks similar with spring rolls but the how to make it is a little bit different. Also the taste. The name Risoles is borrowed over from the traditional Portuguese rissole. A rissole is a small croquette, enclosed in pastry or rolled in breadcrumbs, usually baked or deep fried. It is filled with sweet or savoury ingredients, most often minced meat or fish, and is served as an entrée, dessert or side dish.

1 egg

Bread crumbs

Instructions:

1. Make the skin: take a bowl then combine the flour, salt and egg. Gradually add the milk whisk them to make a smooth texture. When it's done, heat up non-stick pan. Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture, pour to the pan and make it thin (just like how you make crepes). Cook it with low heat. When the edge of the skin is dry and you can peel off easily, it means it is cooked. Set aside.

2. Filling: heat up the wok, then sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the meat and mix them well for few minutes. Then add carrots, pepper, salt, celery and 1 cup of water. Cover. When the carrots are half-cook, add the potatoes. Continue cooking until they are tender and add 1 tablespoon of flour mixed with water to make the filling thicker. You can add a little of sugar to adjust the taste.

3. Make the rissole: take one rissole’s skin then add the filling in the bottom. Leave the bottom few centimetres clear. Lift the wrapper over the top and tuck it in under the filling. Fold over the left side, and then the right side and roll it up to form a tube. Repeat until all the skins are finished.

4. Prepare the dipping: dip the rissoles into beaten egg then coat them with bread crumbs. Deep fry them with low heat, set aside and use the tissue paper to absorb the oil.
