Ikan Bilis Powder

This is how Mummy prepare the Dried Ikan Bilis into powder.
1. Mummy soak them in clean tap water for overnite, changing the water many times throughout. Because ikan bilis too much salt and preservatives used to preserve them and the method of drying can be quite unhygenic.
2. Then drain and leave them on a sift to drip excess water.
3. Using a pan fried, after heating it up, Mummy fry the ikan bilis without oil with very small fire.
4. Keeps stirring throughout to ensure even drying.



5. Once the fish sounds hard, usually after about 20mins. Then remove the pan from fire and spread the fish evenly on a plate with paper towel. Leave to cool at a clean place.
6. When the fish has been cooled down or feel less warm from frying, put it into a grinder and grind them into powdery form. Then store this powder in a tupperware.
