Crispy banana fritters

Banana fritters

Banana fritters made with a crispy herb batter. 

I also made this with cauliflower which is incredibly tasty and crunchy!

I added some sweet and sour onions with chili pepper, sweet tomato marmalade and crushed peanuts with grated coconut! 

 

It is a dish that appears in various cuisine's. In Suriname it is known as bakabana. And in Indonesian cuisine the dish is called then pisang goreng. This is also eaten in countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand.

You can eat it with a peanut sauce but I used tomato marmelade instead.

In this recipe I just call it banana fritters because the recipe may differ slightly.

Do you recognize this dish and your country is not among them?

Then I will add the country!

Ingredients for the banana fritters:

 

100 grams of all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons of baking powder or baking soda

180 ml. sprite or 7up ( its also possible to use sparkling water with 1 tbsp of sugar )

0,5 gram of turmeric and cumin

pinch of salt

2 ripe plantains (banana)

1 cauliflower ( optional ) ( raw in pieces )

Sunflower oil.

 

 

This is also delicious to eat alongside the dish: sweet tomato marmalade and crushed peanuts with grated coconut.
