Kembang Goyang with Chocolate Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup chocolate chips

Special equipment needed:
- Deep fryer or a large pot for frying
- Slotted spoon or spider strainer
- Parchment paper

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together water, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter is formed.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat.
5. Once the oil is hot, use a spoon to scoop the batter and drop it into the oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove the fried dough from the oil using a slotted spoon or spider strainer and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
