2. Parsley and Mozzarella Cheese as the Key to Deliciousness

In her post, the singer born on November 4, 1983, stated that the key to the deliciousness of her protein fritters lies in several ingredients. First, she uses healthy salt, also known as Himalayan salt, then black pepper, followed by parsley that resembles celery, and finally mozzarella cheese with gluten-free flour.

According to her, parsley makes her fritters fragrant because she really loves it. Then, mozzarella cheese complements the flavor of the fritters as it creates a delightful taste when eaten.

"So here’s the parsley, it’s super yummy, guys. This is my favorite; whatever I cook has to have parsley. It really makes the taste so delicious. This is called chicken breast-style fritters. Now we add the grated mozzarella that has been shredded. Look, guys, this is definitely super tasty," she said.

3. Ashanty's Frying Technique for Crispier Fritters

In preparing her healthy bakwan, Ashanty not only focuses on the ingredients but also on the right frying technique. She recommends the shallow frying method, which involves frying with a little oil so that the bakwan remains crispy without excessively absorbing fat.

The oil temperature is also key; if it's too hot, the bakwan will be dry on the outside but raw on the inside, while a low temperature makes it too oily. With careful flame control, the chicken breast bakwan can be served as a breaking-the-fast menu that is not only healthy but also appetizing!

4. Choose Protein Bakwan as Iftar Menu

Ashanty's chicken breast bakwan is not just a filling dish, but also rich in health benefits, especially in terms of protein intake. Known as an ideal source of lean protein, chicken breast helps maintain muscle mass and speeds up recovery after activity.

Combined with fresh vegetables, this bakwan also increases fiber, which is good for digestion. In the spirit of Ramadan, Ashanty innovates by creating healthier takjil, replacing the classic fried foods she usually served last year.

"Now I want to eat something with decent protein," she said, while continuing to show how to make her signature bakwan.
