Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams rice flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 150 milliliters water
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and cut them into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1 inch each). Set them aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but not too runny. If using sesame seeds, stir them into the batter.
Step 4
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small dollop of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and floats to the surface, the oil is hot enough.
Step 5
Dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Fry the bananas for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining banana pieces until all are cooked.
Step 8
Serve the fried banana nuggets warm as a snack or dessert. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for extra sweetness.
