Cucur Bawang

Can't remember when was the last time I had these until Alice Pang shared her mummy's recipe at the cooking forum - Thank you!! 

I love these fried onion & vegetables snacks. They are yummy with your favourite chili sauce.  I will add prawns if I have them but I ran out of prawns. 

Add the vegetables to the batter & mix well.

I made 2 different flavours, plain & with curry powder. 

Curried (darker in colour) & Plain (lighter in colour).
