Jemput-jemput Pisang

I had 2 ripe and nicely speckled large bananas sitting in my fruit bowl, seeing this my hands start to itch. I wanted to make/bake something out of these. Banana yoghurt poppy seeds muffins ... Banana bread ... Banana Walnut cake ... lots of recipes cross my mind. At the end of the recipe bombardment session, I was left with little time before my dds come home from school for tea break. With a quick turn of mind, I decided to make these hassle free little crispy and delicious pisang nuggets.

Pisang is a Malay word for banana.

This is a really "quick n easy" to do and yet delicious Malaysian snack. Guess everyone knows how to make this but I still like the following recipe best.

Florence,

I made this for my girls last week, and they love it! I was surprised cos they are not fans of non-bake desserts (thus it took me so lomg to try this recipe), and prefer "western" type desserts.

Now, I buy bananas, not to eat, but to keep them till they are ready to make jemput-jemput pisang!

Thanks, my friend, again for a sharing this recipe.

Warmest regards,
Celine

Celine,
The "mah fun" part about making anything bananas is that you have to plan ahead. Buy the bananas then keep for a couple of days before use. Cannot do on the spur. I usually doing my baking on the spur.
However, this is one of my fav hometown goodies.

Hi! Instead of banana, i tried mixing orange juice and +1/2 tbsp of sugar into the rest of the ingredients and fried it the same way. It turns out a lot like 牛舌皮 (ow lai sow in case its not right) from yum cha!

Malayalees (Indians from the state of Kerala in South India) have a similar dish called Unniyappam.
