How to Make Banana Fry

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. 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.
  3. Peel and cut 3 ripe but firm bananas lengthwise into halves or thirds, depending on their size.
  4. 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.
  5. Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Carefully place the battered banana slices into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry the banana fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. 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!
