Butchi

Butchi

I’m here again from my hiatus and hopefully can share more recipes to you. Now, I am here with a famous snack or side dish – Butchi.

You will need:

2 cups glutinous rice flour

½ cup white sugar

¾ cups water

1 cup munggo bean paste (boiled munggo beans, drained, mashed then added with sugar or condensed milk. Heat until become like a paste).

Sesame seeds

Oil for deep-frying

Here’s how to do it:

Mix the first two ingredients. Little by little, add water and mix until it forms dough. Get about a table spoon of the dough and form into balls. Press the middle part and place about a teaspoon of the munggo bean paste, seal and form into a ball. Roll over sesame seeds until all surface is covered. Deep-fry in hot oil until sesame seeds turned light brown.

Tip:

Make the paste as near to dryness. Having excess moisture will create pressure inside and will eventually pops the butchi.
