Enjoying Ubi Goreng A Sweet Fritters Taste Good At Night

I sometimes wonder why I can find gorengan easily at night. I've talked about some gorengan here like bakwan if I remember correctly. So, let's talk about another gorengan this time.

Here in Indonesia sweet potato is called ubi or ketela rambat. What color sweet potato do you want? We have yellow, white, orange, and purple here.

Ubi goreng or in Javanese, it's sometimes mentioned as telo goreng costs normally Rp 1.000 in the warung. But you can also make it yourself if you have the ingredients.

For simply said, ubi goreng is a battered sweet potato. In my case, I usually make the batter from wheat flour, a bit of rice flour, a pinch of sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and water.

Put the sliced sweet potato in the batter. Then deep fry it until golden brown. Wala, you get ubi goreng for your snack.

I think the batter suits the sweet potato the best. Especially if the sweet potato isn't that sweet. So, the batter can give texture and more flavor to the ube.

Not gonna lie, I prefer ubi goreng with warm jasmine tea at night. It can be the best snack to accompany me while watching some series.
