Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams rice flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 180 milliliters low sodium sparkling water
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice each into thirds lengthways, creating long strips.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder, and turmeric powder. Mix well.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Step 4
Pour in the low sodium sparkling water gradually, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F). You can test this by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
Step 6
Dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the bananas in batches to avoid overcrowding, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 8
Remove the fried bananas from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot and crispy as a delightful snack or dessert.
