For the best results, use very ripe bananas – the ones with plenty of brown spots. They'll provide the most intense banana flavor and sweetness. Be mindful of the oil temperature. If the oil is not hot enough, the banana balls will absorb too much oil and become greasy. If it's too hot, they'll brown too quickly on the outside and remain uncooked on the inside. Don't overcrowd the pot when frying. Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy banana balls. Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the batter for an extra layer of warm spice. Serve these banana balls with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey for an even more decadent treat.
