Risoles

This yummy Indonesian fried pastry can be served as a snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg, beat lightly with a fork
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 cup bread crumb
• oil for frying

For the filling

• 1 onion, chopped finely
• 250 g minced beef or minced chicken
• 150 g carrot, chopped into small cubes
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg powder
• 1/2 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 tsp chicken stock powder or 1/2 chicken stock cube (dissolved it in the milk)
• 100 g flour
• 200 ml milk
• 2 tbsp butter for frying

For the wrap:

• 300 g all purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 600 ml milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp butter

Method:

1. Melt the butter in the frying pan, then fry the chopped onion until soft.
2. Put minced chicken/beef and chopped carrot into the frying pan. Fry till almost done.
3. Put the flour into the pan and mix well.
4. Pour the milk and mix well until no lumps appear, then set aside
5. In a big bowl, beat all the wrap ingredients with electric mixer until smooth.
6. Melt the butter in the frying pan and swirl around the pan until all surface is covered with melted butter.
7. Pour one scoop (I use a soup ladle) of the batter to the frying pan and spread it thinly on the pan surface, just the way of making thin omelete. Repeat this way until there's no batter left.
8. Put 2 tsp of the filling on each wrap and wrap it like making an envelop.
9. Dip the risoles into the lightly beaten egg, then roll it on the breadcrumb until all surface is covered by the crumbs.
10. Fry the risoles in the hot, plenty of oil until golden brown. Serve with chili sauce.
