Cucur kodok aka Malaysian banana doughnut

I recently made this famous street snack and they proved to be popular among my relatives in London, UK.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients
Fully ripened bananas (a comb of 5 bananas or 700g bananas)
300g plain flour
60g granulated sugar ( I don't like the dish to be too sweet)
1/2 tsp baking powder (to form the dough into a ball while in the frying pan)
1/2 soda bicarbonate (to make the dough crispy)
500ml vegetable oil



Steps
1.  Mash the bananas using a potato masher until they are smooth.  Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda bicarbonate into the mash.  Whisk the mixture using a whisk until it becomes smooth.

2.  Heat a frying pan over a low heat.  Add the oil to the pan.

3.  Drop a bit of the mixture into the pan to see if the oil is hot enough for frying.  If the dough floats to the top of the oil immediately, it is ready for frying.

4.  Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to scoop the mixture and drop it into the pan.  Once the bottom of the dough turns brown, turn over the dough to make sure that the dough is fully fried and cooked.

5.  Turn the dough frequently until both sides turn fully brown, not black.

6.  Remove the doughnut from the frying pan.  Do the same with the rest of the mixture/ batter.

7.  Let the doughnuts cool for 30 minutes before consumption.  Enjoy!
