BEGEDIL (MALAYSIAN DEEP FRIED POTATO PATTY)



Begedil (Malaysian Deep Fried Potato Patty) image

Begedil is a Malaysian term for deep fried potato patty usually eaten alongside other Malaysian curries and this is a family favourite of ours.Some like it with bits of browned mince beef but I prefer mine plain with the exception of chopped cilantro,green onions and fried shallots.It's up to you to add or omit whatever additional ingredients but this is how it is done in my household...

Yield Serves 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

700 g potato (peeled and sliced)
1 stalk coriander (chopped)
1 stalk spring onion (sliced)
1 egg
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp white sugar
1 tsp white pepper

Steps:

  • Deep-fry potato slices. In a pot on medium heat, heat up enough vegetable oil for deep-frying. Deep-fry potato slices for 5 to 7 minutes until lightly browned. Remove potato slices from hot oil and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil. Set aside the pot of oil for later when the begedil patties are ready for frying.
  • Mash deep-fried potatoes. In a mixing bowl, mash deep-fried potatoes with a fork or potato masher until slightly chunky.
  • Mix potatoes with seasoning and herbs and roll into balls. To the mashed potato, add in coriander, spring onions, shallots, ½ teaspoon of cumin powder, 1 teaspoon of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of white pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well until the mixture is well combined. | Add protein to this dish by mixing in some minced beef. Take 1 ½ tablespoon of potato mixture and roll into a ball to make the patty. Lightly flatten each potato ball with your hands and set the patties aside. Repeat until all mixture is used.
  • Dip begedil into beaten egg and deep fry. With the pot of oil that has been set aside, heat up on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. In a separate small bowl, crack and beat 1 egg with a fork. Dip begedil into beaten egg and gently place into the pot of hot oil. Deep-fry 2 to 3 begedil at a time for 5 minutes, until they turn golden brown. Place deep-fried begedil on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.
