World-Bites (46) / Kuih Kodok

Malaysian cuisine is yummy, exotic and exciting. Comprising of three main groups namely Malay, Chinese and Indian, Malaysian food has become a fusion of the three and more, making it one of the world's most unique cuisine. One of the most popular Malaysian snacks in the Malaysian cuisine are the Dim sum which are steamed snacks that can be found at hotel outlets, large chain restaurants. Dim sum is like the Chinese version of the Japanese sushi. The difference is this: dim sum is hot while sushi is cold. Another famous Malaysian snack is Kuih Kodok. This is basically Malaysian-style fried banana snack - bananas all mashed up with flour, eggs, sugar, and then deep fried.

Ingredients:

3 big ripe bananas
1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 egg
Some water
Oil for deep frying

Method:

Break the bananas (with hands) into small pieces and put them into a bowl. Add flour, egg, sugar, and some water. Use a big spoon and stir the ingredients so they are well blended.

Heat up a frying pan and add some cooking oil for deep frying. Once the oil is heated, scoop up a spoonful of batter into the frying pan. Try to “shape” the batter so it’s somewhat round. Deep fry until golden brown.
