    BANANA FRITTERS

    Leave a comment

    Banana fritters is my favourite snack. Mom makes this for the evening tea. Its a very                 common dish for malayalees. Its delicious. Try this…

    Banana fritters

       Ingredients for Banana fritters

    • Sliced ripe Bananas –  2 (slice it according to the length you want )
    • Maida –  ½ cup
    • Rice flour – 1 tbsp
    • Sugar – 1 to 2 tsp (according to our need)
    • Salt – to taste
    • Water – 1 cup
    • Oil

       Method

     
             1.   Make a batter with  Maida, Rice flour, Sugar, salt and Water. It should be thicker than the iddli                     batter.
     
             2.   Heat the oil in the pan.
     
             3.   Take each banana slice and dip it in the batter and put it in the oil to fry. You can also try dipping                  all the slices together,  but care should be taken because if you dip it for long time it is difficult to                    take the slices from the batter , it will stick to the batter and this may lead to breaking of the slices .                so i would prefer the first way.
     
             4.   Fry it until it turns golden brown color.
     
             5.   Drain the excess oil. I use newspaper for that… our dish is ready…..
