FOOD REVIEW: Keukarah Cake From Aceh [ENG] #02 [INDONESIAN FOOD]
Hello Steemian ! Good afternoon steemian wherever you are. How are you steemian today? Hopefully Healthy always and Always be in the protection of God Almighty. On this blissful day we can meet again this season, I am very happy if you continue to give appreciation and support to my writing and my best work every time the steemian colleagues.
Culinary DIVERSITY typical of Aceh much enticing tourists. Not only taste delicious, but it uses and also its funny captivates travelers. No doubt, tourists from various countries that came to Aceh pun's "Hunt's" unique shaped the culinary to taste and take home as a keepsake. One of these cakes KEUKARAH , or also known as bolu typical of Aceh.
Keukarah is a typical Aceh snack that rarely found, since childhood until now I love it in addition to crisp texture and crunchy shape is also very unique like a bird's nest, but in the west aceh form there is a triangle with small or large size whereas where I live east aceh resembles a crescent moon.
Before his grandmother died he was adept at making traditional cookies ranging from meuseukat, bhoi and one of them this keukarah and many received orders on holidays or when the wedding, the order itself comes from neighbors and relatives.
Karah, I prefer to call it that way, and usually we find many times when Idul Fitri and Eid al-Adha, or bridal show, every time visit to my relatives house I found this cake, it turns out that not all houses provide it on every Eid because they prefer other modern pastries keukarah.
In my former residence there are some people who work as a maker of keukarah and their age of about 50's, over time they died one by one because of age factor and sick coincidence also my mother at home likes to order karah on them.
Actually the material needed to make it very simple and easy to get in the market but somehow very little that can make it, one day I once asked the mother and the answer was the process of making quite complicated also so people are reluctant to make their own, if there is usually the science is passed down from parents, for example the mother used to be a karah maker later when the mother died his son who will inherit the business.
In my family only Uwak brother of father who can make karah, every lebaran he always make it for us as a family, sometimes we get shipment even though not the other lebaran or celebration.
Two years ago while still studying in Sudan summer holiday I returned home and returned to Sudan after Idul Fitri as souvenirs I brought traditional cakes including keukarah to friends from various countries, beyond their expectations also love it plus again will be more delicious when eaten dipped in coffee or tea like the habit of sudan people who likes with tea in morning and evening so delicius when presented to them souvenir of keukarah.
How to make this cake and what are the ingredients, we start from the ingredients that is rice flour is given water then added sugar as sweetener taste of dough, all the ingredients are stirred evenly into one, then how to make use of mold made from coconut shell which shape like spoon wood that used by the people of Aceh (in my house still use the wooden spoon), then under the coconut shell given as many holes as possible and the size of the hole as big as the tip of the stick, well then put the dough into the mold then rocking the mold earlier preheated cooking oil, once the dough falls into the oil immediately form by using a wooden spoon then wait until the color is brownish, then lift and drain and ready to serve, which must be remembered is how to fry must be one by one so it takes a lot of time and patience extra.
To enjoy the keukarah do not have to wait for Eid or wedding ceremony, as a typical cake aceh although we can not make it own now sold in many outlets along the street lampisang to lhokNga Banda Aceh, or can visit traditional markets and is very suitable to be brought as by- by for friends or relatives when you visit Aceh.
