Natural orange color of turmeric can make food look more attractive.
Serve the fried tempeh with turmeric paste for a colorful snack that also boosts appetite.
Turmeric is a wonderful blessing from nature. Turmeric is a great colorant, in fact, it lasts days on the hands as well in some types of kitchen utensils. So why don't we take advantage of that to make food into food look prettier?
Tempeh, which is rich in protein, is also a favorite plant-based food source besides tofu. So this time I will serve fried tempeh with turmeric flavor.
If you don't have fresh turmeric, you can use turmeric powder which is found in many Asian markets.
Turmeric traditionally in my area is a popular spice used to increase appetite, especially in children who have no appetite.
We also often find turmeric in curry seasoning and several other sauces.
So in this recipe, I involve turmeric to make seasoning that is mashed into a paste. So I hope you enjoy my recipe.
Mix all the ingredients to make turmeric paste. Then blend until smooth. Then set aside. Here mine looks a bit red as it is influenced by the red chilies.
After making the turmeric paste for the tempeh flavor, the next step is to make the coating flour for frying the tempeh.
Add turmeric paste, celery, coriander powder, and salt to a bowl.
Slowly add water until it forms a thick batter that can be used as a coating flour for frying tempeh.
Making tempeh slices, not too thin, not too thick. As much as possible slices with a consistent thickness so that they cook simultaneously when fried later.
When the tempeh and batter for coating the tempeh are finished, heat enough oil to deep fry the tempeh using the deep frying method.
Put tempeh in the batter first. Then put in really hot oil. Fry on both sides until golden brown.
Use a paper towel to absorb the oil once the tempeh has been removed from the pan.
Then serve while the fried tempeh is still warm, also the oil has been absorbed by the paper towel. Don't forget to include your favorite sauce for a more perfect taste!
