These were sold by my grandfather in his duka (shop) in Bukandula in Uganda fro 2 cents a piece. My grandmother, mother and aunts used to make them out of sweet apple (menvu) bananas and cassava flour. They are original Nubian and were called kabalagara. They are still a very popular street food, in fact the area Kabalagala in Kampala is named after it.
