In [[Khmer language|Khmer]], banana fritters are called ''num chek chien'' ({{lang|km|នំចេកចៀន}}). They are made by dipping flattened bananas in a thick mixture of rice flour, [[sesame seeds]], egg whites and [[coconut milk]] seasoned with salt and sugar and deep frying them in hot oil until crispy and golden. The Cambodian banana fritters are more savoury than sweet and are often eaten as a snack with coconut ice cream as a popular accompaniment.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rivière |first1=Joannès |authorlink1=Joannès Rivière |date=2008 |title=Cambodian Cooking: A humanitarian project in collaboration with Act for Cambodia |publisher=[[Periplus Editions]] |page=89 |isbn=978-0-794-65039-1}}</ref> A famous banana fritter shop in [[Cambodia]] is ''Chek Chean Pises'' operating since 2000 that has two locations in [[Phnom Penh]] – at Mao Tse Tong Boulevard and Kampuchea Krom Boulevard.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Taing |first=Rinith |url=https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50618983/deep-fried-with-hope-and-hard-wok/ |title=Deep-Fried with Hope and Hard Wok |date=28 June 2019 |newspaper=[[Khmer Times]] |access-date=17 October 2021}}</ref>▼
