Cilor - Indonesian Street Food

 Cilor is another beloved Indonesian street food snack, similar to cilok and cireng, but with a unique twist. It typically consists of filled tapioca balls served with a savory peanut sauce. Here's a recipe to make cilor at home:

Ingredients:

For Cilor:

  • 1 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • Filling of your choice (common options include ground meat, chopped vegetables, cheese, or a combination)
  • Bamboo skewers or toothpicks for skewering

For Peanut Sauce:

  • 1 cup roasted peanuts, finely ground
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 red chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons palm sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • Oil for sautéing

Instructions:

Making Cilor:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and white pepper.

  2. Gradually add water while stirring until a smooth and elastic dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too wet, add a bit more tapioca flour.

  3. Divide the dough into small portions and flatten each portion into a disc shape.

  4. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each flattened dough disc. Be careful not to overfill to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.

  5. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to enclose it completely, shaping it into a ball.

  6. Skewer each filled tapioca ball onto bamboo skewers or toothpicks.

  7. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop the skewered tapioca balls into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

  8. Remove the cooked tapioca balls from the water and drain them.

Making Peanut Sauce:

Follow the same instructions as in the cilok recipe to make the peanut sauce. Adjust the spiciness and sweetness according to your taste preferences.

Serving:

  1. Serve the skewered cilor hot with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.

  2. Enjoy your homemade cilor as a delicious and satisfying snack or appetizer!

Feel free to experiment with different fillings to customize your cilor according to your preferences. Enjoy!
