Covid-19 Inspired Snack

  

This is presumably cucur, literally means fritters.  Usually sphere in shape, made of mainly flour and prawn, anchovies, chives, scallion, onion, sweet potato, banana or anything else. 

This Covid-19 inspired cucur is round, resemblance of the virus.  I am not sure of how to make the spikes, but it definitely looks scary.

This looks like a roti canai, or kuih lenggang ( pancake ), carefully folded to mimic a surgical mask.  ( it's definitely single-ply )

Kuih lenggang is just a very thin pancake made of flour, flavored with egg, coconut milk, milk or pandan essence.  

Roti canai pulak is an Indian-influnced flatbread found in mamak restaurants/stalls throughout Malaya.  It is made of flour and ghee, cooked over flat plate, usually serve with dal, or any type of curry.

Cassava Pancakes

This is another recipe from Julau.

1. First, grate the ubi kayu, a.k.a cassava ( tuberous root of Manihot esculenta )

Ubi kayu is an exotic foodstuff, usually not commonly found in KL supermarkets.  But it is a very easily found in markets all over Malaya's small towns.  In a typical KL homes, it is very hard to find a kitchen grate for grating ubi kayu,  

So, one way to grate the cassava is via a food processor.   Just cut the cassava into small pieces, and blend it with a a bit of water in a food processor.

2. MIx 1 portion of the grated cassava with ½ portion of grated coconut, and ¼  portion of sugar.

note : the ratio is merely my own rough estimation.  It can be proportioned according to own liking.

3. Scoop and flattened a spoon of the cassava-coconut mixture on a non-stick pan.  Fry with a gentle flame until it turns golden colour.  Apply margarine if necessary.

4. Turn to another side and fry to golden colour.  Fry longer if you want more caramelization.

 5. The whiteness of cassava will turn to translucent sticky form when its cooked.  

6. Serve hot with a typical Malaysian kopi 'o'
