Banana is often used in Nyonya desserts and sweet broth. Banana is a prominent ingredient in punggat, also called bubur cacah. Bananas are often deep fried as goreng pisang (banana fritters) as well as kuih kodok. Nyonya don't usually use bananas in savory dishes, although Indians do use one type of green bananas called pisang tanduk in some of their curries.
Health benefits
Banana is a good source of potassium. The trainer in the gym I go to recommends bananas to replenish energy immediately after a work out. Ripe bananas can be used to counter constipation while sugary bananas help to relieve diarrhoea. Ripe bananas also stimulates serotonin, a substance to helps to perk up our moods.
How much to eat
If you eat 1-2 ripe bananas without other food, it can help to produce a substantial rise in mood-raising serotonin while also helps you to sleep. Dried bananas are higher in potassium, but is also higher in sugar, than fresh ones..
