Cook: Fried Banana Balls (aka Jemput Jemput Pisang aka Cekodok Pisang)

Fried Banana Balls

Fried banana balls or more commonly referred to as "Jemput Jemput Pisang" is one of my childhood favourite. My mum used to buy them off this Malay auntie stall for our afternoon tea. 

Since I moved over to Singapore, I haven't eaten it. 

As I had some overripe bananas, decided to make some for my hubby and kids. This is the first time my kids ate this, and brings back some memories for me as well.

1. 8 small bananas (or 4 large ones)

2. one cup of plain flour
