I had a short cooking class in Anika Cooking Course. Just want to share :
Ingredients : Makes 15
300 gms/10 oz. chickens mince 3 tbspn. fried shallots
4-5 tbspn. base genep 1 tbspn. palm sugar
5 lime leaves, shredded ½ tspn. sea salt
½ - ¾ cup grated coconut ½ tsp. shrimp paste
Chopsticks, soaked in water
Mix with the grated coconut, Base Genep, palm sugar, fried onion, salt and lime leaves. In Bali, the mixing is done by hand so that the spices blend thoroughly.
Mix in the chicken and knead the flavour together. The mixture should be fragrant, deep yellow in colour and slightly sticky. If it is not too dry, you can add water or a little coconut milk. Take a dessert spoon of this mixture and shape into a pear.
Place the meat on the end of the chopstick and spiral it firmly around the stick until it reaches halfway, resembling a drumstick.
Grill until golden brown.
