Method
- Mash the saba until mostly smooth, leaving a few small pieces for texture.
- Stir in grated coconut, sugar, salt, and vanilla, then fold in both flours and baking powder.
- Rest the mixture for 10 minutes. It should hold a rounded spoonful; add one tablespoon flour if very loose.
- Heat oil to 170°C. Drop small rounded tablespoons into the oil without crowding.
- Fry 3–4 minutes, turning frequently, until evenly golden and firm at the centre.
- Open one tester. If the middle is wet, lower the oil heat slightly and fry the next batch longer.
- Drain on a rack and serve warm with Kahawa Sug.
