Filipino Recipe - Maruya (Banana Fritters)

Thursday 3 Aug 2006

Maruya ("Banana Fritters") is one of my favourite merienda when I was in the Philippines. They sometimes place it in a bamboo stick and sometimes they shape it like a hand fans. I miss that moment especially after siesta that when we woke up, my mom cooks us merienda delicacies like this maruya during hot summer day.

· 1/4 tsp. salt

Wow!! This is a cool sight! Thanks for blogging. My family and I spent 14 years living in the Philippines and my youngest two were born there. We've been back in Canada for 4 years now. My kids still ask for Filipino food though. Do you have a recipe for champorado? I plan on trying the maruyang camote recipe. Maraming salamat!
