Combro & Misro is an authentic finger food from West Java.
It's made from grated cassava root (tapioca) and grated coconut plus a pinch of salt. It always filled with palm/coconut sugar for sweet version called "Misro" and oncom (soybean sediment which is a traditional staple food from West Java) for salty version called "Combro". Thanks to Sepoi who clarified it :)
Making the combro into balls.
And then, deep fried.
Combro & Misro tasted crunchy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside.

ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting. It looks like a great treat.
ReplyDeletethis looks inviting and tasty - I make soy milk often I wonder if I can use the 'okara' or leftover soy to make something similar?
ReplyDeleteMuch like our sweet potato balls here.
ReplyDeleteCombro is actually referring to the salty version, with oncom inside, thus Com(b)ro = Oncom dijero* (Oncom inside). While its sweet cousin with palm sugar is Misro = Amis dijero* (sweet inside).
ReplyDeleteI always prefer salty snacks, so I can eat combro by the bucket if I can..the texture and combination is so different from the usual fried snacks.

ReplyDeletedoggybloggy: I don't think you can use the leftover of soybean to make this finger food because this one is made from cassava, definitely a different texture than soybean.
