Little balls impregnated with a flavour that just pops open in your mouth as you take the first bite, Lokhemat is also a sweet that is presented alongside the bitter coffee, kawah. Flour is mixed with a generous dose of cardamom, made into balls using egg and other wet ingredients, and then are deep-fried until the casing is crisp and golden. When prepared just right, the outer surface of lokhemat is crisp and crunchy, while the inside is soft and gooey, creating an explosion of sweetness with every bite.
