It’s all well until I return to normalcy, and onto a treadmill. Till then, I’ll continue to ignore and enjoy it all 😉
We’ve landed in Bangalore today and I’m just giddy with excitement at the thought of more eating adventures coming our way. Who am I to complain? While there’s so many local delicacies that I can’t wait to gobble, I’m already missing one of my many favorite snacks from Malaysia.
Banana fritters are synonymous to Malaysian’s palate as one of the epitome of evening tea accompaniment. For me, its the crispy exterior with soft and sweet interior that makes it all more worthy to devour a deep-fried treat.
Don’t believe it? Make it yourself and prove me wrong 😉
Makes about 20 fritters
Ingredients:
- oil for deep frying
- 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 salt
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
Directions:
- Heat cooking oil on medium high in a deep saucepan.
- Add all ingredients in a huge bowl. Stir/mash to combine. Set aside while oil heats.
- Line baking sheet with paper towels.
- Using a small ice cream scoop, add a few dollops of banana fritters batter into hot oil. Fry until browned on all sides.
- Remove fritters from oil and set it over paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Best enjoyed while hot and crisp!
Off to pamper our sweet niece and nephew. Its the best time of the year!
If you had to pick, which ONE location would be an ultimate foodie adventure? For me, its a tie between Malaysia and India. Don’t force me to choose 😉

These look great, I bet the cinnamon and cardamom make them really aromatic as well as being crispy and sweet. GG

Bangalore…YAYAY. Enjoy girl, nothing is more fun than being with family, pampering and getting pampered.
This looks so good, remember something like mum used to make. Love it.
First of all, welcome back! I love banana fritters! And cardamom is my favorite too. Chai and banana fritters sound so good for this tea time… 🙂

What a lovely post, Kiran. Enjoy the pampering from your beloved mom… I’d give anything to be able enjoy one of my mother’s beautiful Hungarian cakes (or even her potato salad) again… miss her and my father so much. Your fritters sound quite exquisite! Foodie destination? Well, a moment in my mother’s kitchen… but given that that won’t be possible, Vietnam. : )

Have a lovely time in Bangalore – I would love to visit it one day! Same here, Kiran, gained a few pounds after we came back from our travels – imagine grabbing all your favorite microwavable vegan meals, vegan cheese/meat, and of course eating out at your favorite local places! Right now we are focusing on making whole foods meals, without relying on processed, vegan cheese/meat alternatives or prepared packets/products. Fried banana fritters – what?! Love that idea! I would choose Thailand for the ultimate foodie adventure, there’s just so much going on – the spices, the flavors, vegan-friendly, etc.
These fritters look crispy and delicious with a wonderful sweetness – need them in my life 😀
Cheers

Enjoy your time, Kiran. As for the banana fritters, I know how good these are as we make the same fritters in Bangladesh and call it “kolar pitha”. You’ve captured the fritters wonderfully.

Oh yes! I like it so much. It reminds me of my travel in Asia.
Who cares about pounds when mom is cooking right? It happens to me every time I visit Mumbai. And there is all the amazing street food in India..it’s hard to resist. The fritters look yummy.

OH my….these banana fritters looks awesome and I think I would be happily gaining some weights eating them too…well, or gaining weight from Mom’s home cooking. 🙂 I think my food adventure country would be Japan. Always love their food and wide varieties.

My mom makes a very similar fritter with bananas and it’s a hot favorite at home. I never tried making it at home, but should ask Mom soon!
You enjoy your trip. I always gain weight when I visit India. So much food, how can one resist!
Fritters in any form (but especially with a mother’s love) are perfect. GREG

Haha, I definitely agree that a little bit of extra weight is tolerable on holidays! Just think, you won’t have to regret not treating yourself to all of those Malaysian delights afterwards 🙂 LOVE the look of these banana fritters. So gorgeously crisp and golden. I’ve never made them for myself, I think I need to change that! Gorgeous food styling as always Kiran. Love that first shot, I would put it on my wall xx
