Description
Hawaiian Taro & Pineapple Fritters are a delightful tropical treat that combines the unique flavors of taro and pineapple, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup taro, peeled and shredded
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 large egg
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a spacious bowl, mix together the shredded taro, diced pineapple, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well incorporated.
- In another bowl, beat the coconut milk, egg, and vanilla essence together until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just blended.
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
- Using a spoon, carefully drop dollops of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry each fritter for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a beautiful golden hue.
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Enjoy them warm, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of syrup.
Notes
- For an added tropical flair, consider mixing in some shredded coconut.
- You can also swap the pineapple for mango or banana for a delightful variation.
- For a lighter option, bake the fritters at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are golden brown.
