This banana molen is widely sold in markets in the afternoon, it can be said that there are a lot of banana molen sellers in our place, but even so, the buyers are also very busy, to the point that we who buy it also have to join the queue, so rather than joining the queue just wanting to eat this banana molen, so I took the initiative to make it myself at home, using the recipe given by my mother, I immediately made it today
