This is Accra Banana in all it's glory. In culinary language we call this Banana Fritters. In our lingua franca, it is Accra Banana and it is delicious!

Pour that into a bowl. It may start turning dark. Don't worry, that is perfectly normal with bananas.
Now add in your garri and a little salt to taste.
Give that a good stir.
Now let it sit for about five minutes. During this period, the garri will absorb the liquid and the mixture will harden up.
Heat up your oil on medium heat in a pot. Now make balls like this and put into the oil.
Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Let the delicious balls fry until they are a nice brown colour.
Put on paper towel or any other thing to drain.

Thanks Pre, i've always done accra with cassava. I tried your garri version yesterday, truth be said i had no cassava at home and going to the market just for that was wasting my gas. My girls came home from boarding school(ambazonia drama) and i wanted to give them this treat which they like so much. They gave me the look like this time mama has just gone bananas in the kitchen.
i did'nt bother with their looks, went ahead and made the accra. The accra was delicious with peper sauce and fried morocco fish. Hihihi see round 2 and round 3 on the girls' plates. Mr Cassava sorry for dropping you but henceforth i pledge my loyalty to Ma Garri.
Precious says
Hahaha praise God! This recipe always sounds strange but once you try it you are hooked. It makes making Accra Banana much easier. Glad you and the girls enjoyed it. Thanks for the amazing feedback!

Kay says
HI,
I look forward to making this recipe and I love your site.
You mentioned that you use a cookie scoop for the fritters. What size of a cookie scoop is best? Small, medium or large? Which do you use?
Thank you.
Precious says
Hi Kay, I believe what I used is medium. Let me know how it goes if you try it.
