Introduction and history
Kuih Karas is made from rice flour. It has a fine, net-like texture, similar to vermicelli but crispy and sweet in taste. This traditional snack is made by mixing a thin rice flour batter that is then poured into hot oil using a special mold until golden yellow. It is then lifted and folded. Kuih Karas is very popular among the people in the Kota Setar district of Kedah.
In Kedah, this snack is often served at festive occasions such as Hari Raya and wedding feasts. The uniqueness of Kuih Karas lies in its sweet taste and crispy texture, making it a widely loved treat.
