Ingredients:selasih
Crushed or shaved ice
Rose Stroop
Selasih (sweet basil seeds, soaked in water until expanded)
Cincao (grass jelly)
Rock melon or Nangka
Santan or sweetened condensed milk

Directions:
Place the crushed or shaved ice in a large glass add the selasih, nangka and cincao. Pour a little rose stroop over the top and add the santan or condensed milk. If using the condensed milk make sure to adjust the rose stroop as it will otherwise be too sweet.

For dipping
1 egg
Bread crumbs

Directions
1. Make the skin: take a bowl then combine the flour, salt and egg. Gradually add the milk whisk them to make a smooth texture. When it’s done, heat up non-stick pan. Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture, pour to the pan and make it thin (just like how you make crepes). Cook it with low heat. When the edge of the skin is dry and you can peel off easily, it means it is cooked. Set aside.

2. Filling: heat up the wok, then sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the meat and mix them well for few minutes. Then add carrots, pepper, salt, celery and 1 cup of water. Cover. When the carrots are half-cook, add the potatoes. Continue cooking until they are tender and add 1 tablespoon of flour mixed with water to make the filling thicker. You can add a little of sugar to adjust the taste.

3. Make the rissole: take one rissole’s skin then add the filling in the bottom. Leave the bottom few centimetres clear. Lift the wrapper over the top and tuck it in under the filling. Fold over the left side, and then the right side and roll it up to form a tube. Repeat until all the skins are finished.

4. Prepare the dipping: dip the rissoles into beaten egg then coat them with bread crumbs. Deep fry them with low heat, set aside and use the tissue paper to absorb the oil.
