Published Nov 11, 2020 Updated Nov 05, 2024 Kuih kodok are basically overripe bananas, all mashed up and mix with flour, sugar, and deep fried to golden nuggets. They are usually round in shape but with uneven surface, hence the name kodok, meaning toad in Malay language. This is my personal preference and it’s no way authentic. You may omit the egg in the recipe if you want to make traditional Malay-style kuih kodok. According to my late grandmother, pisang awak is the best banana for deep frying. I used regular Dole bananas commonly found in the United States and they turned out fantastic. If you are in Malaysia, please use pisang awak if you can find them.
