In this week we will continue our own recipe experiment about BEGEDIL. Using the original recipe we take from internet, we follow the recipe and method as the guideline to finish the experiment. For this week we will change one of main ingredient with other ingredient. With the same objective and the begedil recipe, we make the experiment

Before the experiment, as usually chef Zaid will give short briefing to class about the experiment for this week. Student must achieve the objective and know what the purpose of each task that has been given to us.

awesome begedil

This week we have baked the begedil, we add egg in the mix ingredient. The result for bake begedil is still fail. This because bake are not suitable for begedil, Even the color and flavor are same but it make the begedil tenderness become hard and crunchy.

Conclusion, from our experiment we assumed that sweet potato is suitable to change with potato. Sweet potato also comes from starch vegetable type. Each of vegetable has same function but have different with the taste, texture, and tenderness. For carrot it not suitable to change with potato even the flavor is much better than other ingredient, this is because carrot is not a starch product it contain water.

Recommendation

Sweet potato is sweeter than potato and tapioca, but the tenderness are to soft than potato and tapioca.

Carrot flavor are awesome but it need some starch product to make it stay in shape and make the tenderness much better and fluffy.
