Recently I have tried to make dried anchovy powder using oven instead of "dry frying" (frying in the wok without oil while continuously stirring it- it was tiring and time consuming when making it this way). I found out that the result was amazing and much simpler which enable me to make it more frequently or making bigger batches!
Materials:
1. Anchovy (ikan bilis)- I have bought those de-boned with internal organs removed
Methods:
1. Wash the anchovy to remove salt, pat dry on kitchen towel and spread it on a baking pan
2. preheat oven at 100 degree C
3. Bake for 20 min or until it become crispy
4. Blend into powder using a blender and store it in an air tight bottle.
Suggestion
It is so nutritious and tasty when sprinkled on top of the porridge or cereals made for baby to eat!
