Ingredients

  • 4 number Ripe Bananas (preferably plantains)
  • 1 cup Rice Flour
  • 1/4 cup Tapioca Starch
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Peel the 4 ripe bananas and cut them in half lengthwise, or into 2.54 cm thick slices.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, 2 tbsp sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp baking powder until well combined.
  3. 3Gradually pour in the 3/4 cup water while whisking constantly, until you have a smooth, lump-free batter with the consistency of thin pancake batter.
  4. 4Pour the 2 cups of vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or wok. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 175°C.
  5. 5Dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off for a second.
  6. 6Carefully place the battered banana pieces into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fritters are a deep golden brown and feel crispy to the touch.
  7. 7Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, remove the fried banana fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  8. 8Serve the Pisang Goreng hot.
