Assorted Flavored Cimol Business Opportunity: The Secret Anti-Explosion Cimol Recipe

What is Cimol?

Cimol, an abbreviation for “Aci Digemol” (chewy tapioca dough balls), is a popular Indonesian street food originating from West Java. Made primarily from tapioca starch (aci), the dough is shaped into small balls and deep-fried until they are crispy on the outside yet delightfully chewy on the inside. Cimol is typically served sprinkled with various flavored seasoning powders such as spicy, cheese, BBQ, and balado, which significantly enhance its taste and appeal.

One of the biggest challenges in making Cimol is the frying process. If the frying technique or dough composition is slightly off, the Cimol can explode in the hot oil.

Today, Magfood will share the secret Anti-Explosion Cimol Recipe that guarantees delicious, chewy results. Check out the recipe below!

The Anti-Explosion Cimol Recipe

Ingredients:

• 200 g tapioca starch
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 150 ml hot water
• 1 tsp Magfood Chicken Broth Powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp Magfood Garlic Powder
• Scallions, finely chopped (optional)
• Cheese cubes for filling (optional)
• Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Mix all the dry powder ingredients in a bowl.
2. Gradually add hot water while kneading until the dough is smooth and moldable.
3. Add the chopped scallions and mix well.
4. If desired, add a small cube of cheese inside each ball for a flavor twist.
5. The Secret Step:Submerge the molded Cimol balls into cold cooking oil inside a pan. Then, turn on the stove to low heat.
6. Fry until the Cimol expands and floats. Remove from the oil once there are no more air bubbles escaping from the fried Cimol.
