I learnt how to make Cheese-filled Banana Fritters by watching some videos on YouTube. Some people may think that the combination of banana and cheese is weird. However, they will change their mind once they have tasted it. Cheese-filled Banana Fritters are good as snacks. The sweetness from the banana and the salty cheese give these fritters very flavourful.
Ingredients:
- 4 bananas (I use Pisang Berangan. Pisang Awak can be a great choice.)
- 6 pieces of Mozzarella cheese (2 cm x 2 cm x 0.4 cm)
- 4 tbsp rice flour
- 2 tbsp wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 small egg
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- A pinch of salt
- Cooking oil
- Cling wrap
Method:
- Peel the bananas and cut them into 2.5-cm length cylinder. There will be a total of 12 cyinders.
- Heat up a pan with oil.
- Put the banana cylinders (standing up) on the pan. Cook for short while to soften them. Remove and set them aside.
- While waiting for the bananas to cool down, add rice flour, wheat flour, baking powder, egg and salt to a mixing bowl.
- Mix up the ingredients and add milk slowly to the bowl till a slightly stiff batter is obtained.
- Take a piece of cling wrap.
- Put 1 piece of banana cylinder (standing up) on the cling wrap and flatten it.
- Place a piece of cheese on top of the flattened banana.
- Take another piece of banana cylinder (standing up) and place it on another piece of cling wrap.
- Flatten it.
- Place the flattened banana on top of the cheese.
- Use a spoon to scoop up the banana and put it to the bowl of batter. Coat it completely.
- Place the coated cheese-filled banana into the pan which was earlier used to fry the banana.
- Fry the banana till one side is golden brown.
- Flip it to the other side for it to be browned.
- Remove the banana fritter onto a kitchen towel to soak up any excess oil.
- Repeat till all the bananas are used up.
- Serve.
