Cilor (Bite-sized Balls with Chili Sauce)

{{totalReview}}
Short for aci and telor, Cilor is a typical West Javanese snack primarily made from starch, or what is commonly called aci in Sundanese, and eggs. Bite-sized balls of starch are seasoned and boiled before being skewered. Each stick is then dipped in eggs and fried till golden brown. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, this extremely addictive Indonesian treat is best served with a homemade chili sauce for a spicy kick!
