Mix the flour, baking powder, turmeric, and salt.
Add the egg and water to make a batter that flows but does not fall quickly from a spoon.
Chop the shrimp coarsely and add to the batter with scallions, sprouts, and grated carrot.
Heat the oil in a deep pot.
Spoon portions of batter into the hot oil and fry each batch for 4 minutes.
Drain excess oil and cook the remaining batter the same way.
Serve cucur udang hot with sweet chili sauce.
💡 Tip: If the batter is too thin, the shrimp sink; rest it for 5 minutes before frying and check the texture with a spoon.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot for tea time or a crowded table with sweet chili sauce, lemon wedges, and cucumber.
