jemput jemput is a local favourite back home and mum usually makes them with overripe bananas, which is what you really need for a good batch of these fritters. i googled for a recipe online, first beginning with "asian banana desserts", then to kuih kodok or kuih toad because they resemble toads! haha... and then finally got to jemput jemput which looked a tad more familiar than the former. but okay, they all mean the same oily thing ;p
what you will need:
three ripe bananas
dash of salt
1/2 tsp of baking soda
30g sugar
15g cornflour
30g self-raising flour
what you will need to do:
heat a wok of oil.
mash the bananas, mix everything together till well blended. it must be of a thick consistency otherwise they will just spread into a splatter in the oil. drop spoonfuls of mixture into wok and fry at medium heat, till golden brown.
serve warm!
