Untir-untir is a yummy, traditional Indonesian snack. It is a deep-fried twisted doughnut. This tasty treat is made by frying dough in peanut oil. Untir-untir looks shiny and golden. It has a delicious crispy texture.
This snack is quite similar to mahua from Chinese cuisine. It also reminds people of lubid-lubid from Filipino cuisine.
The name untir-untir comes from the Javanese word for "twisted". In Indonesian, it is called kue tambang, which means "rope cake". Both names describe its unique twisted, rope-like shape.
Untir-untir is very popular among the Javanese people in Java. But today, you can find this special doughnut all over Indonesia. Sometimes, sesame seeds are added to untir-untir for extra flavor.
