Jemput-Jemput (Banana Fritters)

Have you ever find yourself throwing away over-riped bananas? But yet find that it is very wasteful?

Fear not!

With this recipe, you will perhaps leave your banana till they are over-riped! Just so you can enjoy this treat!

This is one recipe that I learn from my Malay friend.

Jemput-Jemput are made up of banana (which are usually over-riped), flour, sugar & just a pinch of salt. Those at the market that I bought, they are usually with a lot of flour, more on the soft & fluffy cake side. However, I like those which are more to the runny side, & I can still taste some of the bananas. Yes, I know I have wierd taste. Hahahha! It’s a little like Ondeh-Ondeh (which I will talk about in my next post), just that instead of the gula melaka oozing into your mouth, you have banana into your mouth! 

Now for the super duper easy recipe!

You will need -
5 over-riped bananas, mashed
4 tbsp sugar
5½ tbsp plain flour
A pinch of salt 

{1} Mix all the ingredients together into a large bowl, until well incorporated.
{2} Heat up a pot of oil.
{3} When the oil is heated up, spoon in the mixture to deep-fry it. [Be wary of the mixture sticking to the bottom of your pot, as the sugar melts due to the high level of heat when deep-frying] 
{4} Deep-fry until the jemput jemput becomes golden brown.
{5} Serve hot as snack.

 
My Jemput-Jemput. They are rather flat, cuz i made them like mini size. LOL.


A plate of what I have made. I was in the midst of doing up my 2nd plate while shooting this!

These are really awesome snacks when they are served hot!

I made them in the morning before I went for work, in the hope that they will taste as good when they were just fried. But no, when I came back, they were already a little soggy. Perhaps due to the water vapour? I don’t know really the reason why. 

Moral of the story?

EAT THEM WHILE THEY ARE HOT. SERIOUSLY. OR YOU WILL REGRET!
 

Have fun at this recipe! Till the next time folks!  

Oh, did I mention that I will be submitting this to the tumblr food challenge for the month of September? Hop on there to see more banana-themed recipes! Why bananas? This is because the theme for this month is banana! Go bananas!! :D
