Cooking Fritters

This is a continuation of my earlier post on Fritters.Special attention is needed when making fritters.All depends on the consistence of the batter.Fritters could be made just about with any fruits.The most relished are pine apple fritters and banana fritters.Fritters could be made in two ways.One method is the fruit is coated in a batter and deep fried.The other is like the way I prepare at home.( Check my earlier post Go Bananas With Fritters ).Always make sure the batter is light and smooth,if not they will turn out heavy.The oil should be very hot for frying them.And do not fry too many at one time.

Here is the recipe for the batter to coat fruits.
1/4 flour
1 teacup milk
1 egg
a pinch of salt

Put the flour and salt into a bowl.Blend in the milk and mix into a smooth batter.Beat the egg and add into the batter.mix well.Dip slices of fruits ( your choice)in the batter and deep fry.

Go Bananas With Fritters!

I love making Fritters with fruits.It is usually composed of some fruits mixed in some batter and deep fried.My children love to eat banana fritters.And whenever I have over ripened bananas, I make my children this special treat.

Banana Fritters

3 over-ripened bananas
1/4 lb flour
A pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon bi-carbonate soda
2 tablespoon water
Oil for frying

Peel the bananas and mash into a pulp.Add to this, the flour, salt,water and the bicarbonate soda and mix well into a batter.Let it stand for about 15 minutes before using.

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into hot oil.Fry until golden brown.Serve with jaggery* syrup or dust with powdered sugar.

The main ingredient here is Jaggery.A naturally sweetened hard substance made from cane juice or palm sap.This jaggery is made into a syrup by adding water and boiling.
