Ingredients




(A)
180 gm plain flour
1/2 ts baking powder
of salt
(B)
500 gm slightly overripe bananas, mashed
2 cups of desiccated coconut (optional)
oil for deep frying

Preparation

1 Sift A, add mashed bananas and mix well into a soft batter. 2 Heat oil in a wok until hot and drop tablespoonful of batter in. Remove with slotted ladle when golden brown and drain on absorbent paper. 3 Note: 4 For those who prefer this to be a little sweeter, coat the banana balls with icing sugar or cinnamon sugar. My husband, son, nieces, and nephews love these.

About


This recipe is good for over-ripe bananas. Here, locally, I will not make this if I cannot get pisang raja (banana raja). These are small plantation bananas, grown and consumed here, that are very sweet, and most who make this treat do so only when they are available. However, don't let this stop you from making this lovely banana fritter, the perefect accompaniment to a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon.
