Ingredients for Banana Fry
- 3 ripe bananas
- All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups vegetable oil
How to Make Banana Fry
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be slightly thick, like pancake batter.
- Peel and cut 3 ripe but firm bananas lengthwise into halves or thirds, depending on their size.
- Heat about 2 cups of vegetable oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of batter dropped in sizzles immediately.
- Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered banana slices into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the banana fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the crispy banana fritters hot, optionally sprinkled with powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy with a cup of tea or your favorite beverage!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
