How to make it

7 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, and salt

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, and salt.

  2. Gradually pour in the cold water while whisking

    Gradually pour in the cold water while whisking until a smooth, thick batter forms. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

    10 min

  3. Peel the bananas

    Peel the bananas. If they are large, slice them in half lengthwise or diagonally.

  4. Heat oil in a deep pan or wok

    Heat oil in a deep pan or wok to 350°F (177°C).

  5. Dip each banana piece

    Dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully and evenly coated.

  6. Carefully place the coated bananas

    Carefully place the coated bananas into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

    5 min

  7. Remove the bananas

    Remove the bananas and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the best results, use 'Saba' or 'Raja' bananas, which hold their shape well when fried. If unavailable, use firm-ripe Cavendish bananas.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

The batter can be made 2 hours ahead and kept chilled, but the bananas should be fried immediately before serving for best texture.

Store & enjoy

Best enjoyed immediately. If leftovers remain, store in an airtight container and reheat in an air fryer or oven to regain crispness. Reheat at 350°F (177°C) in an oven for 5 minutes.
