This snack always intrigues me, its crispy skin and delicious filling make me buy it very often at the market. At first I thought this snack was made from non-vegan ingredients. However, who would have thought that the ingredients used were 100 percent vegan. Finally, after yesterday I saw inspiration on the internet for recipes for various pastel preparations, I found pastel filling and a simple and very easy way to make pastels.
Pastel Filled with Sweet Potato and Carrot
Pastels filled with sweet potatoes are a fried snack made from flour. Then it is filled with sweet potatoes and carrots. However, who would have thought that sweet potato filling would be so delicious when combined with carrots. Moreover, it is wrapped in pastel skin which when fried becomes very crunchy. The combination of simple ingredients always turns out to be more spectacular than what is sold out there when we dare to try it with the ingredients we have and of course with our own style.
Materials Used
- 3 sweet potatoes
- 2 carrots
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 Spring onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper

After making the pastel filling, next I will prepare the skin mixture, then apply the filling that I have made to dry. At the stage of making the skin dough, make sure to make it according to your taste. And don't forget, you can roll it out with whatever tools you have until it is as thin as possible.
Making Pastel Skin
Add the flour to another container, then mix the flour with salt.
Then add margarine and cooking oil then stir the mixture.

Fill with enough filling ingredients, close the dough, then pinch the edges of the dough according to taste or print with a pastel mold.

Once all the dough has been made, then fry the pastels in hot oil, using medium heat until golden brown.

Results
Pastel snacks with sweet potato filling are ready to be served, serve with chili sauce or whatever sauce you like. It is very suitable as a snack to break the fast or while relaxing with the family.
My nieces and nephews were so happy they enjoyed these pastels after I happily made them. I barely got a share when breaking the fast. Haha but that's enough to satisfy me this time.
The crunchy taste on the outside is savory and the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes and carrots makes it very delicious. I love this and I think this is my first successful pastel. Maybe in the future I will have to buy a mold so that the results and shape are neater.

I could eat a dozen of these. I think the cute children feel the same. They are so perfect looking. I don't think I could do such pretty ones. I may try. Thanks for the recipe.
