What do you do with left over bananas which if left uneaten, will ferment into a banana alcoholic eats with ugly bruised fruit: definitely NOT good eats!
'Cekodok' is a Malaysian snack made of ripened mashed bananas and flour. It is usually made 'fresh', deep fried and sold piping hot usually at a side street stall (all the exhaust fumes must somehow make them tastier!) Sold alongside with it are other popular snacks like 'Pisang Goreng' which is bananas coated in a batter and deep fried. Other forms of roots or vegetables can be used such as sweet potato and yam.
This is a very simple recipe to follow to make 'Cekodoks'. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 2 ripen bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup plain flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp brown sugar (optional)
- Oil for frying
1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl
2. Heat oil in a wok or deep pan at medium heat.
3. Scoop 1 tbsp full of batter and let it 'slide' into hot oil.
4. Flip 'cekodok' once or twice to allow uniform cooking.
5. Fry till a slight tinge of dark brown and strain to rid of excess oil
6. Serve hot
Tips: Bananas are usually picked green and allowed to ripen during the transportation process or right within the enclosed plastic wrap of your local supermarket.
To accelerate ripening, you can place the unripen bananas with say one ripened left over banana in a brown bag and leave it overnight.
If you wish to extend the shelf life of the bananas, the fruit should be kept at room temperature and not within an enclosed space such as a plastic bag. When it is about to turn brown and has been out on the counter for a few days, you can then place them in the refrigerator. A cooler temperature such as 4 degrees in the fridge, will temporarily inactivate the enzymes. However dont be alarmed as the skin will turn brown at a faster rate in the fridge although the fruit remains unaffected. They can last for another week or so and by then should be eaten or discarded.
Never deep freeze bananas unless you wish to make ice cream or sorbet.
