Hello Everyone... How are you today?

Today I want to share the recipe for Bala-bala. Bala-bala, also known as bakwan, is a fried food made from vegetables and wheat flour commonly found in Indonesia. People who come from West Java usually call this bala-bala. However, this is more commonly called bakwan in the public.
These snacks are widely sold on the streets. This food has a crunchy texture and delicious taste. In this month of Ramadan, many people are selling this bakwan. Why is that? Because this snack is the first choice for breaking the fast.
These snacks are usually eaten together with chilies or with peanut sauce which is called pecel.

Well, let me start introducing the ingredients and how to make it.

Step 5
After that, heat the oil then fry the dough using a tablespoon so that the size is the same. Fry over medium heat so that it doesn't burn quickly and the vegetables in it are cooked.
