Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon(7grams) active dry yeast 1 packet
  • ¼ - ½ cup(50- 100grams) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large bananas mashed about 1-1/4 cup
  • 3 cups (360grams) flour
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • Oil for deep-frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the warm water, salt, sugar, and yeast. Set aside for 5 minutes
  • Then add mashed bananas and mix with a wooden spoon or hands preferably, followed by flour, and nutmeg. Mix well until flour and bananas have been fully incorporated.
  • Set the mixture in a warm area and let it rise and double in size -approximately 1- 2 hours
  • In a large, sauce pan pour vegetable oil, until it is at least 3 inches (or about 5 centimeters) high (too little will result in flatter balls), and place on medium heat until oil is 375 degrees.
  • The dough is going to be sticky so use your hands to grab a little bit of mixture at time and drop in the oil or use a spoon to spoon up the batter, and another spoon or spatula to drop it in the oil, sort of in the shape of a ball. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Do so in batch
  • Fry for a few minutes until the bottom side is golden brown.
  • Turn the ball over and fry for a few more minutes until the other side is golden brown.
  • Use a large spoon or something like that to take it out of the oil.
  • I usually place them on napkins right away to
