KOLE-KOLE KACANG

Add caption

Kole-kole kacang is made of green beans flour. I haven't tasted it for quite sometimes. This kuih is popular among the southern especially the Johorian. I hardly find this in Northern region. I used to think that I can only make this kuih with the green beans, mill in the flour mill shop, not realizing that nowadays there are ready made green beans flour. Then again I don't really have confident to use the ready made green beans flour. Last week I met this Putu Mayong seller, asked him where did he milled his rice for the putu mayong. He gave me the direction of the mill shop and was about to send my green beans for milling until my friend told me that the ready made green beans flour are good enough to make a good kole-kole kacang, so I gave myself a tried and here goes my Kole- Kole Kacang. 


Got the look and got the taste. At last I did it.....

Saya memang sudah lama berhajat nak makan kole-kole kacang ni, tetapi susah nak dapat di kawasan saya. Saya pula berpendapat hendak membuat kole-kole kacang ini mesti pakai kacang hijau yang dikasar halus. Tidak pula saya sedar bahawa kuih ini boleh dibuat dengan menggunakan tepung kacang hijau yang sedia ada di kedai. Walaupun kurang yakin dengan tepung kacang hijau saya cuba juga kerana susah nak cari kedai mesin tepung.

Alhamdulillah nampaknya Kole-Kole saya ada rupa dan ada rasa.... maknanya jadilah kuih saya ni. Insyallah akan cuba sekali lagi, kali ini nak pakai kacang hijau yang dimesin... Amin......
