Ingredients

  • 4 overripe bananas
  • 100 g wheat flour
  • 200 g corn flour (polenta)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 liter of frying oil
  • a little water (for mixing) (only if needed)

Instructions 

  • Puree the bananas in a blender with some water or with a hand blender. 
  •  Place the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well until a thick batter forms, roughly the consistency of spaetzle dough. Add a little water if needed.
  • Heat frying oil in a deep fryer or a medium-sized pot
  • Form balls about 3 cm in diameter with your fingers and carefully slide them into the oil
  • Fry the balls for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper

Notes

My tip for you:

You can use an ice cream scoop or two tablespoons to shape the balls. However, using your fingers works best
The balls can be eaten spicy chili sauce.
Bon appetite!
