I´m a foodie who lives to eat. A Singaporean living in the heart of Jakarta. My food blog started because I could never remember my recipes back when we travelled back and forth from here and Singapore...and I´m terrible at keeping folders! So this was my savior. I still rely on this blog to cook so just know that the recipes here are all tried and tested!

Jemput-Jemput Pisang / Cekodok Pisang / Cucur Pisang

So many names for this one.. Jemput-jemput, cekodok or cucur but bottom line is, it's a favourite for afternoon tea time with a cup of hot tea-o! 

It's funny how some stalls sell their jemput2 pisang and it taste of all flour and no pisang?? Well I hate that! I love the soft kind with lots of soft mashed bananas oozing out.

Made many batches and I found the evil ingredient that caused the jemput2 to be hard! Water!!! So no water required!!

Mash about 5 bananas
1 egg
3 tablespoons of sugar (approx)
A pinch of salt
1 tsp bicarbonate soda 
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup flour (approx)

What's with the approximate you ask???? That's because firstly the sweetness of each bananas varies and you have to add the flour bit by bit until you get the texture you want. For me, I like the batter quite liquified so that it glides off the spoon into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and indulge!

The bicarbonate soda makes the fritters light and "holey" and the taste of banana are more pronounced. Boomz!!
