Cucur pisang is one of the most delicious snacks eaten during breakfast and afternoon tea.
This dish is very popular among our community, not only loved by adults but also children and it is delicious to enjoy while it is still hot.
However, only certain bananas are suitable for fried bananas.
This dish is easily available in restaurants, stalls, night markets and so on.
But if we produce it ourselves, we are really satisfied because we can produce a banana that is crispy according to each person’s taste. Maybe you think this dish is easy to prepare, but if the technique is wrong, the resulting banana cake will be greasy and mushy.
INGREDIENTS
Briefly, the ingredients needed to make a crispy banana cake are two cups of rice flour, one cup of wheat flour, baking powder, one egg, 2-3 drops of yellow coloring, sugar, hot margarine, enough oil, water and bananas.
METHOD OF PREPARATION
While the way to make fried bananas is, first peel the skin of the banana and divide it into two or three parts. After that, in a large bowl, add rice flour, corn flour, wheat flour, salt, sugar and yellow coloring. After that break the eggs in a separate container and beat.
Then heat and melt the margarine (you can replace the cooking oil but heat it first).
After that mix the lime paste with a little water. In the dry mixture, add egg, lime water and water little by little until dissolved and mixed. After that, add melted margarine and sesame oil and stir until combined.
After that, heat the oil, dip the banana in the flour mixture and fry. When the flour starts to harden, separate the bananas and turn them over. When it is dry on both sides, you can lift it and drain the oil and it is ready to be served. Good luck trying.
As an additional tip, you can replace the yellow dye with turmeric powder, but the turmeric will turn red if mixed with chalk.
Meanwhile, the mixture should be liquid but still sticky if dipped with a spoon or finger.
The fire should not be too hot, lest the bananas brown but not have time to crisp, and don’t be too slow, lest the oil not have time to heat up and the oil absorb into the flour, and don’t move the time early, lest the flour come off.
