Preparation
Mash the ripe bananas with a fork in a bowl until you get a coarse purée.
Add the flour, baking powder, sugar and grated coconut, mix.
Crack the egg into the mixture and mix well until you get a thick, even batter that falls heavily off the spoon.
Heat the frying oil to 170°C in a deep saucepan.
Drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, without overcrowding, and fry 3-4 minutes, turning halfway, until the fritters are golden.
Drain on paper towel and serve warm, optionally dusted with a little sugar.
