Fried Banana Fritter (Kuih Kodok)
Fried Banana Fritter or Kuih Kodok in Malay is a common street food in Malaysia. I had not eaten this for 9 years since I immigrated to Canada. I missed it so much that I decided to make it at home despite that I do not like deep frying in my kitchen.
The Fried Banana Fritter is soft and sweet and full of banana flavour. It is best eaten warm. I got the recipe from Kuali but made some adjustment to it as I find that the recipe in Kuali has too much salt in it which makes the banana fritter more savory than sweet. I prefer it to be sweet.
Ingredients
- 150g (net weight) ripe bananas (about 1 large banana)
- a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 5 tablespoons self-rising flour
- 1 tablespoon rice flour
- 1 tablespoon Quaker oats (I subtitituted with 1 ground flax seed)
- a pinch of baking soda

Instructions
 Peel and mash the banana with a fork. Combine with the rest of the ingredients and mix well into a batter. |
 Heat a pot with enough oil over medium heat. Spoon a tablespoon of the batter and drop into the hot oil. Constantly turn the fritters over until they are golden brown.Remove with a slotted ladle and drain on several layers of paper towels. |
 Serve warm. You may sprinkle some powder sugar over it.This is great for afternoon tea. |
