Cokodok , also called Kuih Kodok or Cucur or Jemput-jemput, is a traditional Malaysian fritter snack that is made with flour and banana, and is fried.
It is usually round in shape and tends to vary in size. There are many varieties of this snack, some substituting the banana with anchovies, prawns, onion or maize.
Ingredients
4 very ripe bananas (the uglier the better since they are easier to mash-up properly)
half a teaspoonful of salt
sugar to taste (optional)
half a teaspoonful of baking powder
one and a half cups of flour
oil for frying
Method
1. Smash up the bananas until a paste is formed.
2. Add in all the other ingredients and mix well. If the mixture is too watery, add more flour. If it is too hard, add more water.
3. In heated oil, fry spoonfuls of banana mixture until dark brown. Repeat until mixture is finished.
There it is. Nice and simple. Enjoy trying your hand at making these easy tea time bites. Again this photo of the finished products doesn’t do them much justice. They tasted great though!
We DID go out on the street and these sweet bites sold like hot cakes to hungry divers hanging around the dive shops. In fact, it all happened so fast, i didn’t have the chance to take any photos of us in the street. The locals also bought some but said that they also make a similar kid of fried dessert here on the island. The guy downstairs, our first customer said he may order some from us to take out diving, and we will be making more this evening to bring to a farewell barbecue for sampling to other friends working in the diving industry here.
