FRIED BANANA FRITTERS



Fried Banana Fritters image

This is an old traditional snack in most of Malay families, especially when there are too many ripe bananas at the back yard. We used to eat this for breakfast or evening tea. This is a trial an error recipe. You have to keep on trying to do it until you get the right texture and flavour. Once you master it you can do it with your eyes closed. But, it is worth trying since it is a really nice and tasty snack. The ingredients below are flexible. It's up to individual taste. If you like more bananas you have to add less flour and the fritters will be a softer. If you prefer the fritters to be more rounded and spongy use more flour. Either way the batter must look like cake batter before frying. I prefer more flour.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your fritters will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the fritters tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a generous amount of oil for frying: This will help the fritters cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Frying too many fritters at once will lower the oil temperature and make them soggy.
  • Serve warm: Banana fritters are best served warm, when they are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

Conclusion:

West African banana fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these delicious fritters at home. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try.
