Cucur Badak is a traditional Malaysian snack that is both savory and sweet, made from a dough of mashed sweet potatoes filled with a spiced coconut and shrimp mixture.

This delightful treat has its roots in Malaysian cuisine and is often enjoyed during tea time or as a snack throughout the day.

To make Cucur Badak, start by preparing the dough from mashed sweet potatoes. The filling is made by cooking grated coconut and shrimp with a blend of aromatic spices until fragrant.

Once the dough and filling are ready, the dough is shaped into small balls, filled with the spiced coconut and shrimp mixture, and then deep-fried until golden brown and crispy.

Cucur Badak can be customized by adjusting the level of spiciness in the filling or by adding other ingredients such as chopped vegetables or herbs.

In Malaysia, Cucur Badak is typically served hot and fresh, often accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee. It is a popular choice for gatherings and special occasions.

While Cucur Badak is a delicious and satisfying snack, it is important to enjoy it in moderation due to its deep-fried nature, which can be high in calories and fat.
