I don't know where you got the recipe, but calas as I know them are made with "sour" rice by putting yeast and a little water in a bowl the night before and letting it rise or ferment overnight. Then the flour etc. is added and allowed to rise 15-20 minutes before frying. Not using the fermentation makes them much less flavorful and really not the "real" calas that I know and love.Chris Calentinehttp://caleco.calentine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-7933719802220761142010-03-07T00:47:45.399-05:002010-03-07T00:47:45.399-05:00Since I cook rice everyday, I will definitely safe...Since I cook rice everyday, I will definitely safe some rice and try this.Tuty @Scentofspice.comhttp://scentofspice.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-84900160196082285682010-03-06T00:09:23.652-05:002010-03-06T00:09:23.652-05:00Lovely!
