250 ml coconut milk

500 ml cooking oil

Seasoning paste:

2 candlenuts

3 chili peppers

4 shallots

2 garlic cloves

1/2 tsp shrimp paste

1 small tomato

Cooking Steps

Sambal goreng filling:

1. Using mortar and pestle, grind all seasoning paste ingredients until soft.

2. Heat oil on a pan over medium heat. Once simmering, add seasoning paste, bay leaf, and galangal. Stir well until fragrant. Add chicken heart then stir well. Then, add sugar and palm sugar. Stir for a while until blended.

3. Pour coconut milk gradually into the pan. Keep stirring until the coconut milk is thickened. Turn off the stove and remove it from the pan.

Croquette skin:

1. Add mashed potato, powdered milk, yolk, salt, pepper powder, nutmeg powder, and margarine (basically all skin ingredients except bread crumbs) into a bowl.

2. Blend mixture using hands until perfectly blended,

Combining them together:

1. Take 25 grams of skin mixture (about 2,5 tablespoon) and flatten it with your palm. Put 1 tablespoon of filling in the middle, roll the mixture back and forth until the oval becomes more circular. Repeat this step all the skin and filling mixture run out (whichever comes first).

2. Spread bread crumbs in a tray. Dip the rolls in a bowl of egg and move them into the tray. Make sure to make every side of rolls coated with bread crumbs evenly.

3. Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add croquette into the wok. Once they turn golden brown, remove them from the wok.

4. Serve kroket sambal goreng as an afternoon appetizer.
