Chuối Chiên (Fried Bananas)

Ingredients

• 4 Ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup Rice flour
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp Baking powder
• 1/2 cup Water
• 1 cup Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 2 tbsp sugar, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/4 tsp baking powder until well combined.
2. 2Gradually add the 1/2 cup water to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
3. 3Pour the 1 cup vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4. 4Peel the 4 ripe bananas. Slice them in half lengthwise or into 1/2-inch thick coins.
5. 5Dip each banana piece into the batter, making sure it is completely coated on all sides. Let any excess batter drip off briefly.
6. 6Carefully place the battered banana pieces into the hot oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy.
7. 7Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, remove the fried bananas from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
8. 8Serve the Chuối Chiên warm.
