Cucur Ikan Bilis @ Dried Anchovies Fritters
Yesterday, hubby made a special request. He wants to have this anchovies fritter for today's tea break. This is a very simple & easy to prepare recipe. I'm sure anyone of you can do it too. This kind of fritter is normally serve as a snack during older days, where we have not much to get from the stall. We can feed whole lot of people from 1kg of flour, saving lots of money. :o)

1/2 tspn cumin powder
1 tspn baking powder

50gm dried anchovies (fried till golden brown)
*cooking oil for frying
Method :
(1) combine flour, sugar, slat, cumin powder & baking powder in a big bowl.
(2) stir in water to the dry ingredients and mix well.
(3) now, add in sliced onion, chili & fried anchovies and stir well.
