Gandasturi (Fried Mung Bean Cake)

Sweet snacks are considered increasingly difficult to find at food stalls in Indonesia which makes Gandasturi unique as it has both sweet and savory notes. Gandasturi is a cake made of mung beans, then coated with flour and fried. The dual texture of crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside makes this a wonderful dessert.
