well, here in kelantan and terengganu, i might say, we don’t call it cekodok either. we call it jemput – applicable for both the one with banana and the other one with veggies. :)

Hey, just want to share,one secret ingredient if you want the cekocok/Kuih kodok round in shape, just put like a teaspoon or so of baking powder, it will puff and get rounder. And also if you want harder texture mix some tepung beras. Learned it from my mum.

noooooooooooo, jemput-jemput and kuih kodok are two different things! jemput-jemput is basically flour with assorted ingredients like sliced chillies and/or sliced onions and/or anchovies. jemput-jemput is never -NEVER- with bananas. hahaha. some malay people call it cengkodok. my family call it cengkodok. i never knew why… maybe you should add some history titbits of these food? haha.

Hi Joe – I am not sure what wholemeal flour is composed of, sorry I can’t advise on you this.

Can I substitute the plain flour with wholemeal flour instead?

These look so yummy. I believe I sampled these in the basement food court of a mall in East Coast, Singapore. I cant wait to make these at home now :-)

I tried this tonight, but the inside wasn’t soft/mushy at all! It was just like a big hunk of dough. Any ideas what went wrong?

Oh my. I am very surprised this recipe can be found all over Southeast Asia. Here in the Philippines, we call these fritters “Maruya,” but we don’t mash the bananas, we slice them instead. Then we sprinkle sugar on top.

Interesting. :-)
