A colleague of mine had her retirement party last week. The retirement age in Malaysia is 60. I envy her for having reached the age where she will have all the time in the world to do whatever she wants. On top of that, a final big fat check from the Company to cover her retirement years. How I wish I'm her, er..minus the age, to enjoy the time and $$!! Well, being envious is all I can do right now as I have a long way to go before I reach there. Until then, I've to wake up early in the morning, see the kids to school, go to work, come home, go to sleep and the day repeats until the weekend.
When weekend comes, I'm like 'yeay, its the weekend! I can spend time with my family and feed them well!'. I always look forward to spending time with my family even though the kids will fight and sometimes they irritate the hell out of you, but hey, I'm not complaining. It'd rather have this than go to work.
Well, being a working mom, my kids always look forward to weekends where they get to eat food prepared by their mom. I have 3 hungry tummies to feed. Here, I'm sharing with you a great and easy tea-time snack that you can prepare in such a short time and they are delicious.
Onion Fritters
serves 4-5
1 1/5 cups self raising flour
2 medium sized big onions, chopped into squares
2 fresh red chillies, seeded and chopped
3 sprigs spring onion, chopped
salt to taste
3/4 cup water
100g shrimp, shelled (optional)
vegetable oil for deep frying
1. Mix all the ingredients together and add 1/2 cup water first. Adjust the consistency of the batter. If it's too think add more water. Batter should not be runny. Should be thicker than pancake batter.
2. Heat oil in wok and drop spoonful of batter into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown.
Serve with chili sauce.
For dessert, here's Cookies & Banana & Oreo Ice Cream.
