Cekodok Pisang or Banana Fritters is one of Malaysia’s best-love snack. It’s one on my favourite.
I am almost embarrassed to post this as this is so easy to make. However I have since been persuaded that it is not everyone that can make it so here’s a post on my blog.
Living in the UK, I have never found it taste quite the same as in Malaysia for we do not have that much choice of bananas here. I always leave my bananas to go to almost rotten before I use them to get as close a taste to home as possible.
However I do not make this often even though hubby loves them. He will eat this till the cows come home but he will never on his own eat a fresh banana. Go figures.
I don’t make this often because bananas when ripe contains so much sugar and as a diabetic I cannot afford to use up my sugar rations.
Ingredients
- 500 – 600 g Very ripe bananas
- 200 g Cake flour
- 1 tbsp Sugar (optional)
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon powder (optional)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- pinch Salt
- Oil for deep frying.
Instructions
- Mix everything together and use a spoon to drop into medium hot oil for frying.
- TIP – Do not mesh your banana too fine. It is wonderful to bite into them with bits of bananas inside.
- TIP – Adding sugar will makes them crispier but I don't use any sugar.
- TIP – Adding too much cinnamon powder will make the fritters too dark and not appetising.
- TIP – You can sprinkle both icing sugar and cinnamon powder after you fried them.
TIP – Do not mesh the bananas too fine. 
Can you see the banana bits?
