Receta Cekodok Pisang
Cekodok Pisang, or Jemput-Jemput Pisang is another popular street-snack in Malaysia. It is a deep-fried snack made with mashed banana and flour. For this recipe, I added some grated coconut cooked in palm sugar in the batter. You can find the coconut recipe here. Alternatively, you can replace it with freshly grated coconut or desiccated coconut and adjust the sweetness with some sugar.
