Cekodok (Cucur) or savoury fritter is one of the Malaysian favourite snack serve for tea time. Almost everyone knows how to make this yummy tea time snacks, because it is easy!
I just bought this old fashion of enamel plates from the pasar (wet market), and immediately i use to serve this savoury fritters. You may replace with prawn if you could'nt find anchovies.

i used to have this as a kid when my "Ah Mah" was alive. yeah, she does it with anchovies too. looking at your photos brought back lots of wonderful memories that i have with her :)
thanks for sharing, Sonia!
my mum used to cooked this eat together with her self made chili sauce for tea time~~i love it !
hmmm... ho chiak! i like ur antique plate :)
I love cucur ikan bilis, perfect tea time treat.
When I was a kid, I hated those enamel plates, becos it seemed so old and have always prefered ceramic plates over them.
But as I got older, I seem to like them, as they reminded very much about my meals as a kid. I don't think those plates I used to use as a kid still exist at my mom's. She could've thrown out all of them. Keeping some will be nice.
Ooo.... I love cucur ikan bilis too. Waiting for your sweet chili sauce recipe...
My mum just make cucur udang, but has not try to make cucur ikan bilis. I think I'll like both. :)
Saya pasti akan buat cekodok petang ni :) nak cuba cara Sonia:)terima kasih Sonia...pinggan ayan tu membuatkan teringat MIL.....
I too have noticed lots of dishes with anchovies...We never use anchovies in American cooking, I always look at them in the Asian market...but I have never tried them...I will get brave one day...Your fritters look excellent.
Where do you buy those plates?
Sonia, these are my hubby's favourite! He loves anything with kampung flavour. He'll be thrilled if I made him these. haha.... Hope you're enjoying your day.

Wow this is my favourite. At home,we will have this for breakfast, tea snack and supper. It's so handy and eady to make.
Urs look very pretty and delicious. Perhaps I shall share my mom's version one of these days. We normally add egg, chili paste and chopped chili padi to the batter as well.

Great mind think alike. I too just made cucur udang yesterday. I love ikan bilis but can't put it in all my dishes as Carlos hates it. I like the enemal plate too. I remember my grandmother used to serve dishes in plates like that.

These look mouthwatering! I love these with some garlic chillie sauce!!

Yum, these fritters look delicious! Anchovies sound like a fun ingredient, I don't use them often enough.
