Kueh Kodok (Deep Fried Banana Balls) 炸香蕉丸
I had my first taste of this Kueh Kodok (deep fried banana balls) when I was in primary school. This kueh was usually sold in the Malay stalls which also sold many other Malay goodies as well. When Fion approached me to make Kueh Kodok and post it today for her Best Recipes for Everyone event, being the theme for March, I immediately searched for the recipe online. So here is my yummy Kueh Kodok, a little bit crisp on the outside with soft bits of banana inside. Thanks to Tze, for the recipe. I reduced the recipe and made a smaller portion with some adjustments which is just nice for our afternoon tea.

Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Author: Ann Low
Serves: serves 4
Ingredients
- 130g Plain flour
- ¼ tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Rice flour
- pinch of salt
- 300g ripe banana (peeled and mashed)
- 60g Sugar or to taste (depends on the sweetness from the banana you use)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash the ripe banana and combine well with the rest of the ingredients.
- Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Use an ice-cream scoop (grease with some oil.so the banana batter will slip into the hot oil easily), scoop a spoonful of batter and deep fry in a medium hot oil till golden brown.
- Place the banana balls on a kitchen tissue to drain away oil before serve.
- 炸香蕉丸
- 材料:
- 130个 普通面粉
- 1/4茶匙 发粉
- 1茶匙 粘米粉
- 盐少许
- 300克 以去皮熟香蕉
- 60克 细糖或适量 (如果香蕉很甜的话,可以减少糖分)
- 做法:
- 把香蕉压烂,将所有材料加入,搅拌均匀。
- 让面糊休息15分钟。
- 加热油,用冰淇淋勺 (抹油,这样香蕉面糊更容易滑入热油里)舀起香蕉面糊,放入油锅里。用中火把香蕉丸炸致金黄色便可。
- 用厨房纸吸取多余油分即可食用。
