Author Notes

Gandasturi is one of traditional kue in Indonesia (kue is term for Indonesian cakes or pastries or sweet snack). It’s a perfect pair with a cup of jasmine tea. Usually the main ingredients for this sweet snack is Mung Beans but in this recipe I use Green Lentils.

  6. Combine the breaded mixture ingredients. add water little by little and stir until the dough is smooth with medium thickness. You can strain the mixture to get rid of the lumps.
  7. Dip patties into breaded mixture, a couple at a time. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown.
