Kabalagala, original Uganda Pancakes, are commonly prepared for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and can also be taken as a snack too in most of our homes like we do cookies and biscuits.

These are good for vegetarians, diabetics and for those who are on a diet process too.

Note: Original Kabalagala are made without the rising agent and sugar.....but a little sugar (2-3 tspn) using this recipe can be added for those with a sweet tooth. Baking soda is added if you want them a little crunchy or chewy.

You can double the ingredients.

Ingredients

approx. 1hr
4 people
  1. 2and 1/4 cups Tapioca Flour, plus more for dusting
  2. 6ripe sweet bananas or 2 ripe medium size bananas
  3. 1/4 spoonbicarbonate of soda (baking soda), optional though
  4. 1 pinchsalt
  5. 250 mlcooking oil

Cooking Instructions

approx. 1hr
  1. 1

    Wash and peel your bananas. Put them in a bowl, mash using a fork till you get a smooth puree. Add the baking soda, mix well using the fork. Add the salt and mix well too.

  2. 2

    Start adding the flour to the mixture above, little by little as you knead.

  3. 3

    Continue kneading and adding all the flour.

  4. 4

    Knead well for around 10 minutes. Make a nice round ball and start rolling it out on a dusted surface to the desired thickness. I did a quarter an inch thickness but you can do upto 2 inches.

  5. 5

    Using a cutter, cut out the shapes and place them on a dusted tray or surface. Collect the remaining dough from the cut out shapes and make a ball. Repeat the above until you are done with the dough.

  6. 6

    Now put some oil in a wok (or a deep frying pan) and place on a medium heat. You will know the oil is ready when a small dough dropped in immediately floats up. Start dropping the pieces while monitoring the heat, it should be too hot for they will burn. Cook by keep turning them till you get a golden brown colour or a little bit darker as to your preference.

  7. 7

    When they are ready, you can now remove them and continue with the rest of the pieces till you're done, while controlling the heat to medium.

  8. 8

    Serve them when they have cooled down with a cup of tea, coffee, juice or a soft drink. Enjoy.

Is this only made with tapioca flour, or other flours, as well sometimes? Thank you for the recipe! I can’t wait to try it.
