Pisang Goreng Recipe
Pisang goreng is an Indonesian dish made by slicing bananas, dipping them in a batter, and deep-frying them. The batter typically includes rice flour, sugar, baking powder, water, and salt.
Ingredients
- Rice flour – 120g
- All-purpose flour – 30g
- Baking powder – 1 tsp
- White sugar – 1 to 2 tbsp
- Salt – 1/4
- Water – 180 ml
- Cooking bananas (medium) – 4
- Vegetable oil – for frying
Instructions
- Mix the rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add the water, and mix with a wooden spoon, smashing any lumps.
- Heat the oil, in a wok, deep frying pan or a deep saucepan on medium-high heat. The oil needs to be at least 2 inches deep, so that the bananas won't stick to the base.
- Test if the oil is hot enough by dipping a dry wooden utensil in. If there are lots of tiny bubbles immediately hugging the utensil, it's hot enough.
- While the oil is heating up, peel and slice the bananas diagonally.
- When the oil is hot enough, stir the batter. Then dip each slice of banana in the batter and carefully lower it into the hot oil, do not over crowd.
- Fry the bananas until they are a golden-brown color, then turn over.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with 3 layers of kitchen paper, to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat with the next batch.
- Serve while still warm.
