Geragao - a prawn fritter nyonya-style (reblogged from Dec 2013)

Recently back in Melaka, we saw fishermen selling geragao or shrimp seedlings (very tiny ones) along the road to Klebang. My MIL had some in her freezer and I requested for a tasting: voila the results...

 The tiny shrimps are actually used for a fermented prawn condiment called Cencalut used in local cuisine. However, fresh geragao can be added into a simple flour mixture (liquid) and then be fried in oil like a fritter. It is usually eaten hot with chilli sauce. It has rather surprising flavour...
