Description
This recipe has been adapted from one used at the Casa Luna Cooking School in Ubud and even if your're not a big fan of tofu you'll love thse tasty treats.
Method
Place the garlic, galangal, turmeric, shrimp paste and chilli in a food processor and process to form a smooth paste. Add the tofu and process to form a chunky paste. Stir in the egg, lime leaves, palm sugar, fried shallots and sea salt.
Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fritters, a tablespoon at a time, until golden brown on both sides - you may need to do this in batches to prevent overcrowding and cooling of the oil.
Remove fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels.
To make dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
Serve fritters immediately with dipping sauce of the side.
