Peel the 6 ripened green bananas and squash them in a bowl.

Gradually add 1 kg of cassava flour to the squashed bananas until a dough forms.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking powder and 3 tablespoons of sugar to the mixture and mix well.

If the dough is too sticky, add half a cup of all-purpose flour and knead until smooth.

Sprinkle flour on a board and roll out the dough to desired thickness.

Use a cup to cut out circular shapes from the rolled dough.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan until bubbles form around a skewer to indicate it's ready.

Fry the shaped dough pieces in the hot oil, flipping them after about 2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Drain excess oil and set aside to cool.
