Banana & Jackfruit Fritters


This is a favorite afternoon snack in the Philippines. This is so simple, you just need to slice the banana in halves , insert jackfruit slices in between, wrap in a spring roll wrapper (easily available in the grocery), and then cook deep-fried. You can also sprinkle brown sugar as you fry the fritters to give it some sugar coating but I choose to keep this plain to bring out the natural flavor of the fruits inside. When choosing bananas, use the cooking variety, we call these "saba" bananas back in the Phillippines. In Singapore, you can find this variety in the wet markets. Use ripe jackfruit slices; the more yellow it is, the sweeter it gets.
