Photo: The Little Teochew

Ingredients

150 grams fresh prawns (shelled, deveined and chopped into small chunks)

2 ears sweet corn (peeled, washed, kernels removed from cob)

2 shallots (peeled and chopped)

1 stalk spring onions, chopped

1 red chilli (seeds removed, sliced or chopped)

2 smalls ripe bananas, cut into chunks

300 grams flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

375 ml water

Oil for deep-frying

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add salt and pepper. Slowly stir in water to obtain a thick batter (batter should slowly drip off the spoon).

Add prawns, shallots, sweet corn, banana chunks, spring onions and chilli to the batter. Stir until well-mixed.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop 1 tbsp of batter into the oil, one at a time, until the skillet is filled up. Make sure your have sufficient space in between fritters so that they don't stick. Flip the fritters to ensure that both sides are browned. Fry in batches.

Remove the fritters from skillet and drain on paper towels (I find tempura paper better).

Serve with dips, although they are lovely on their own.

I have made these 3 times. This is the first with bananas, though. It's a great way to use up ripe bananas instead of making the usual banana cake/bread.
