In [[Burmese cuisine]], fritters are called ''a-kyaw'' ({{langx|my|အကြော်}}), while assorted fritters are called ''a-kyaw-sone'' ({{langx|my|အကြော်စုံ}}). The most popular ''a-kyaw'' is the gourd fritter (ဘူးသီးကြော်). Diced onions, [[chickpea]], potatoes, a variety of leafy vegetables, brown bean paste, [[Burmese tofu]], [[chayote]], banana and crackling are other popular fritter ingredients.

Unlike pisang goreng, Burmese [[banana fritter]]s are made only with overripe bananas with no sugar or honey added.

The savory fritters are eaten mainly at breakfast or as a snack at tea. [[Gourd]], [[chickpea]] and [[onion]] fritters are cut into small parts and eaten with [[Mohinga]], Myanmar's national dish. These fritters are also eaten with [[Glutinous rice#Burmese traditions|Kao hnyin baung]] rice and with Burmese green sauce—called '''chin-saw-kar''' or '''a-chin-yay'''. Depending on the fritter [[hawker (trade)|hawker]], the sauce is made from chili sauce diluted with vinegar, water, [[cilantro]], finely diced tomatoes, garlic and onions.
