Slice the tempeh into thin, bite-sized pieces, approximately 0.5 cm thick.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, minced garlic, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and white pepper.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture while stirring until it forms a smooth, thick batter, ensuring there are no lumps.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat.
Dip each piece of tempeh into the batter, ensuring it`s fully coated.
Carefully place the coated tempeh pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each piece for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tempeh from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the Tempe Goreng Tepung hot as a delicious snack or side dish, optionally accompanied by spicy sambal or sweet soy sauce.
