Batagor - Indonesian Street Food
Batagor is a popular Indonesian street food dish that originated from Bandung, West Java. The name "batagor" is an abbreviation of "bakso tahu goreng," which translates to "fried tofu meatballs" in English. It is a combination of fried tofu and meatballs, usually made from fish or shrimp, served with peanut sauce.
The dish typically consists of small cubes of tofu filled with a mixture of ground fish or shrimp, garlic, and spices. These tofu cubes are then deep-fried until golden and crispy. Alongside the fried tofu, there are also meatballs made from the same fish or shrimp mixture. The meatballs are boiled or steamed before being fried to add extra flavor.
Batagor is often served with a savory peanut sauce. The peanut sauce is made from ground roasted peanuts, garlic, chili, sweet soy sauce, and tamarind juice. Sometimes, lime juice is added to give it a tangy flavor. The peanut sauce is poured over the batagor, creating a rich and delicious combination of flavors.
In addition to the peanut sauce, batagor is often accompanied by sweet soy sauce and a side of spicy chili sauce. It is common to find garnishes such as fried shallots and sliced cucumbers added to the dish as well.
Batagor is a popular snack or appetizer in Indonesia and can be found in street food stalls, food courts, and restaurants throughout the country. It is enjoyed by many Indonesians for its crispy texture, flavorful filling, and the combination of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors from the sauces and condiments.
