Kuih Kodok (Malaysian-Style Fried Banana Fritters)

This is what happens when no one is eating the banana on the table:

At least the banana is not wasted. Makes a great tea-time snack. Fast to make and good to taste. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 big ripe bananas
• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
• Some water
• Oil for deep frying

METHOD:

1. Break the bananas (with hands) into small pieces and put them into a bowl. 
2. Add flour, brown sugar, and some water. Use a big spoon and stir the ingredients so they are well blended.
3. Heat up a frying pan and add some cooking oil for deep frying. Once the oil is heated, scoop up a spoonful of batter into the frying pan. Try to “shape” the batter so it’s somewhat round. Deep fry until golden brown.
4. Serve hot with tea.

Plantain Chips aka valakai poriyal

Plantain chips are my all time favourite. Even while I'm snapping this picture I couldn't help munching on it. Apart from being so crunchy and yummy, its highly nutritious too. Plantain is a good source of potassium and vitamin A & C. Its high in dietary fiber and also energy booster as its high in carbohydrates.

You can have it as a side-dish or just as snacks. Great for picnics too.

Whats more special is that its soooooooo easy to make:

• Slice the plantain (the more thinner, more crunchier)
• Rub in enough salt and chili powder to cover all the plantain
• Deep fry it and enjoy

Just remember to store it in AIR TIGHT container for long last crunchiness.
