5 minutes and a Banana...

What do you do when you have some too-ripe-bananas to eat? You either make "Tarte Banane", or if you are a lazy bum like me, you make 'Gato Banane', which it just plain banana balls (?lol)! :) As a kid, I remember going through the bags of nice cakes we received from neighbours and friends during the Divali Festival and looking for that one banana cake that was in there. hihi... This will only take 5 minutes, and is oh so easy and yummy :D

What you need...

- Bananas! (It doesnt really need to be super ripe, it just cant be green...I think :p)
- Flour (I'd say 1/4 a cup of flour for each banana you use, really depending on the size of the fruit of course.
- Sugar to taste

Step 1: Crush the bananas with a fork.


Step 2: Add the flour and sugar to the mashed bananas.


It should somewhat look like the image below...


Step 3: Take small scoops and fry until golden. This usually calls for deep frying.. But I try to save oil as much a I can..


Step 4: Sprinkle some sugar on top. Eat when still hot and crunchy :)


Hmmm... Life is short, Eat!

In Msia, we have something similar called 'kuih kodok'. I myself put in a bit or rice flour for that extra crunch :)

@.@ Now I feel like eating bananas.
