Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

  3. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while whisking until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or frying pan to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Dip the banana halves into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
  6. Carefully place the coated bananas into the hot oil, frying them in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  7. Fry the bananas for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fried bananas from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Repeat the frying process with the remaining banana halves.
  10. Once all the bananas are fried and drained, sprinkle them with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
