Cucur Bawang (Onion Fritters)

Ingredients:

120 g plain flour
Onions (shallots) 3 medium pieces, peeled & chopped ( peel more if using shallots)
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt dissolved in water
A handful of anchovies or dreid shrimps ( soaked, pounded using pastel & mortar)(Optional)
2 stalks of spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
Cooking oil for deep frying

Method:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and add water to form a batter with medium thickness.
Take a teaspoonful of mixture and gently drop it into heated cooking oil in a wok or deep fryer.
(Be careful not to drop the mixture from too high a distance as hot oil may splatter)
Fry until golden brown and remove using a slotted spoon before draining on a paper towel.
Serve warm with chili sauce.

(There are many versions of fritters...you can add diced carrots or potatoes and corn kernels to give it more bite if you wish)
