Keropok lekor

Keropok lekor (fish chips) is usually serve for afternoon tea in many Malay houses. It doesn' take a lot of effort to cook the keropok lekor. All you need to have are sago, fish, salt and ice cubes. Here's the ingredients in particular.

Ingredients: 

1. 1 packet of sago (in Tunas Manja it cost RM1.75 per packet)  
2. 1 kg of fish
3. 3 cups of ice

Preparation procedure:

1. Debone fish
2. Put the fish in a blender.
3. In a plate or container, put the fish that you've already blended
4. Add in ice cubes

Pinch a little bit of the mixture and roll it. The size of one keropok lekor is more or less like the one you see in the picture here. More or less 15cm each. Boil it for 15 minutes.

Let it cold for a while before you fry it. Refer to the picture here. You can also eat it like this. It's no more raw! Another thing, if look at the ingredients, no water is used. Only if ice cubes are not available then water can be substituted. I observed this when my mother made keropok lekor. Also she once worked in a keropok lekor factory when I was a child. I could still remember the procedure and the do's and don'ts.. not to mention the fishy smell. I felt dizzy when the smell was strong.

Fry the keropok lekor. Here is how it looks like after you fried it. You may also eat it with chilli sauce.
