Step 1

Peel the raw banana and cut it into long and thin slices. Soak it in water for 5 minutes and meanwhile prepare the batter.

Step 2

In a bowl, add besan, rice flour, red chilli powder, salt and turmeric along with 1/2 cup of water. Give a good mix to make a thick batter. Add baking soda and whisk to make the batter fluffy.

Step 3

Take out the banana slices from the water and pat them dry using a kitchen towel. Now dip them in the besan batter and coat well from all sides.

Step 4

Pour oil into a kadhai and keep on high heat. Once smoke arises from the oil, turn the flame to medium. This step is crucial if you are using mustard oil.

Step 5

Now gently drop the coated banana slices in hot oil. Deep fry from both sides until golden in colour. Take out the fried pieces on an absorbent paper.

Step 6

Banana Fritters are now ready to be served. Pair up with chutney of your choice and serve.
