Introduction and history
Kuih Karas is a traditional food made from rice flour. It has a fine, noodle-like texture, similar to vermicelli, but with a crispy and sweet taste. This dish is made by using a slightly runny rice flour batter, which is fried in hot oil using a special mold, typically a perforated coconut shell. In the past, kuih Karas was folded into a triangular shape once cooked. However, nowadays, it is made in various shapes, such as rolls or half-circles.

● Coconut shell mold
● Oil
● 1 packet of rice flour
● 1 cup of sugar
● 1 1/2 cups of water
● Stir the sugar with water until dissolved. Then, pour it into the rice flour. Mix well.
● Pour the mixture into the coconut shell mold. In modern times, some use a 3- or 5-pointed roti jala mold to shape the kuih karas.
● Heat the oil. Make sure the oil is not too hot.
● Start pouring the mixture from the edge of the pan, making 5 to 6 rounds, before moving to the center of the pan. Ensure the strands are not too thick for easy folding.
● Repeat the process of pouring from the edge to the center for another 5 to 6 rounds.
● Fold the kuih karas into two parts using a spatula. Then, fold it again into a triangle shape.
● Fry briefly, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove and drain the oil.
● When removed, the texture of the kuih karas will still be soft, but it will harden on its own as it cools.
● Enjoy the delicious and crispy kuih karas, a traditional treat with few ingredients but rich in flavor.
