An absolute good way to use overripe bananas or if there are lots of bananas and you want to do something delicious and flavourful.The riper the bananas the sweeter the fritters will be.This recipe is very popular served at breakfast in Africa.There are many versions of these fritters.some use wheat flour some don't use egg/milk.I made it with a combination of egg and milk and when I first made it, the fragrance of the fritters was all over my house and when done, it was over within few minutes on the table.
