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 teaspoon of 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. |
Ooh, I don’t think we’ve made banana fritters before. Sounds pretty easy. Will try this!
(Haha, yes, we too are averse to deep-frying!)
do you know how to make goreng pisang?
my mom always fries outside–in like… i think it is an electric wok? i never knew why but now that my kitchen floor is greasy, i understand!
what dose it mean to fry “outside in” i have never heard of that.
i think she meant using the electric wok outside of the ‘house’. so the grease doesnt mess the walls and floors.
ahh ok. thank you
