Pisang Goreng

Fried Banana Fritters or Cucur Pisang/goreng pisang as it is called in malay.All I know is,it's very famous here in Malaysia,Singapore and Indonesia.
Growing up in Malaysia we ate this fried fritters very often.Sold on the roadside and shop corners and even at the front houses of kampungs.Today,we can even find it sold on the parking spaces.It is not hard to find.It is also inexpensive.Let me remind you that it is considered to be very heaty.Often ate will tend to have sore throat,unless some of you may not.This are very nice Malaysian fritters.

Last night,I made this cucur pisang.As you can see here in the picture above,my ones are too thick compared to others I think.It's not hard to find the recipes as there are plenty on the web and also on the books, but it is also not easy to choose which one.Everyone has their own special ingredients.I do not know which one to follow.Confused.One recipe caught my eye though! It has what I got at home.It is very,very yummy!Try it and you will know.
