Cekodok (Banana Fritter with Coconut)

Hubby has been eating bananas for his diet for months.He said 1 banana is equivalent to 2 fruits counts. Well,so every week I will get a "hand or bunch of bananas" for him .He is quite fussy if the banana turned to brown dots,he won't eat..So,I been keeping all the brown bananas in ziploc bag in fridge and have no idea what to do with it anymore..Sometimes I baked banana cake,sometimes I make banana pancake and today I decided to use it to make banana fritter!! Banana Fritter a.k.a Cekodok or Jemput-jemput (Malay language) is a popular teatime snack in Malaysia.Beside banana I also added some desiccated sweetened coconut in the batter..it's quite awesome!!
