Maruya
Most countries will have their version of banana fritters so it comes as no surprise that the Philippines has a variation as well! Maruya is a banana fritter that is made by frying mashed or sliced Saba bananas in an egg and flour batter. Unlike other bananas, the Saba variety is meaty enough for it to be perfectly fried without soaking up too much oil. Once fried, the fritters are rolled in sugar and can be served as a tea time snack.
