The appearance of Kuih Cakar Ayam is what makes it stand out. It typically consists of a fried or steamed dough base that is shaped like a claw or foot. The base is then coated with a layer of sweet, sticky syrup that gives it a shiny and appealing look. Sometimes, the “claw” part is made by pulling and shaping the dough into thin strands to resemble the texture of chicken feet.
The flavour profile of Kuih Cakar Ayam is sweet and crunchy due to the syrupy coating. The dough itself is not very sweet, which allows the sweetness to come from the syrup.
While the exact recipe can vary from place to place and family to family, the main ingredients generally include Sweet potatoes, Palm sugar, Suger, and Salt. The preparation process involves shaping the dough, frying or steaming it, and then coating it with the syrup of Plam Suger.
This unique and visually intriguing kuih is a beloved treat in Malaysia and is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. It’s a great example of the diverse and creative array of traditional foods found in Malaysian cuisine.
