This recipe is for those who like eggplant with a delicious combination of cashews.
Eggplant has always been my favorite. Moreover, now I plant it myself in my organic garden. There are many Indonesian menus with delicious eggplant ingredients. Starting from spicy stir-fried eggplants, fried eggplants, curry eggplants, and more.
This time I will try something new with eggplant ingredients. In fact, this menu often appears on the Pinterest homepage. So, this time I will make eggplant balls which I will serve as an appetizer for iftar.
We can serve eggplant balls with sauce, or we can stir-fry them again with some of the flavors. But for this time, I chose the simple one. Just serve them with spicy sauce.
The main ingredients used only require two types of ingredients, namely eggplants and cashews. The rest is adding corn flour, and all-purpose flour, as well as general seasoning. For cashews that will be made into crumbs, you can replace them with almonds or peanuts.
For the cooking method, I use an air fryer to avoid using oil. But you can fry eggplant balls in general if you don't have an air fryer or an oven.
I am very happy that the first recipe I made turned out well with a delicious taste. My husband even finished these vegan eggplant balls. So, I'm excited to share the recipe with you here. Stay tuned.
