  • 1/2 cup Maize Flour

  • Cooking Oil for deep frying
  • Salt a pinch

Instructions

How to make Talétalé / Banana Fritters

  • In a bowl, peel the bananas, slice and mash well.
  • Add the flours, sugar, salt and knead to a smooth dough. Since the banana will be very sticky, you will have to add the flours slowly and knead to get the mixture come together as a dough.
  • Rest for 10 mins, then pinch out small pieces, and shape into walnut-sized balls.
  • Heat cooking oil to a pan. Add the banana fritters and cook, turning frequently, for about 5 minutes or until nicely browned and cooked through.
  • Drain on kitchen paper and serve either hot or cold with chocolate sauce.

Notes

In the other recipes that I read later, showed the dough to be more of a batter consistency and drop as a bondas.
The whole recipe is something  you can increase or decrease depending on your taste. If the bananas are sweeter, you can suggest accordingly.
