De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, coconut milk, and salt.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps for the best texture.

2. 2

   Whisk well until a smooth batter forms, similar in consistency to pancake batter.

   Ongeveer 3 min

3. 3

   Cover the bowl and let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours.

   Ongeveer 2 uur

   Tip van de kok: Resting the batter helps to hydrate the rice flour, resulting in a crispier aasmi.

4. 4

   While the batter rests, prepare the sugar syrup by combining the sugar, crushed cardamom pods, and water in a small saucepan.

   Bring the syrup to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

   Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until the syrup slightly thickens, then remove from heat and let it cool.

   Ongeveer 5 min

7. 7

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches about 170°C (340°F).

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even frying.

8. 8

   Pour a small amount of batter into a funnel or a small cup with a spout.

9. 9

   Carefully drizzle the batter into the hot oil in a circular or spiral motion to create a lace-like pattern.

    Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

    Ongeveer 6 min

    Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent.
