Jumput-Jumput Pisang

The bananas in the fruit tray are over ripe, usually I love eating them fully ripen as those slightly raw ones has got that after taste that I totally detest.
I need my nanas very gluey, sweet and fragrant.
But the bunch today is on the ridge of decomposing due to my full-time being away from home this past week.

When situations like these arises, on a good day, I will make the best outta it & some abracadabra later……it will be given a new lease of life.
Actually, there are endless things one can do with bananas. Since I used some for the pancakes earlier and I am still left with 6 large bananas. I had to think of something to make to fully exhaust them. A quick flip though my recipe collection these brown balls called out to me.

WoW !!! When was the last time I ate them? 10 yrs - 12yrs – 14yrs ago?? Seriously !! I cannot remember.

A quick glance at the ingredients and cooking method.
Héy! It’s not difficult at all yet I had my reservations.
This fare calls for some deep frying and being a cleanliness manic, I am completely flipped out with recipes that require anything that will entail a session of major cleaning after.
I would always avoid this modus operandi like plague. *laughter*

Anyhow, my desire to sink my teeth on to them took the better of me, I caved in.
So, 3 hrs & 3 balls later, I am typing this entry completely satisfied.
