Instructions
- Mash the banana with a fork in a mixing bowl until very smooth.
- Add the sugar, salt and cinnamon, then stir.
- Mix in the flour and baking powder, then gradually pour in the warm water while stirring to get a soft, thick batter.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan to about 170 °C; the batter should sizzle on contact.
- Scoop up the batter with a spoon and slide it into the oil in small portions.
- Turn the kaka halfway through and let them brown for about 4 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
Variations and tips
Vanilla version. Replace the cinnamon with half a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a gentler flavour.
