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