Goreng pisang Mmmm... it's my all time favorite tea time snack in Malaysia. Too bad can't find the best banana (the ones with big black seeds inside)for frying here in US. I tried to make some here using regular overripe bananas but I had problem with my batter-- the coating was kind of heavy and soggy after the bananas cooled down. Any tips for light and crispy coating? Thanks, Regina (btw your website is great, definitely will try out some other malaysian recipes!)

ReplyDeleteit is not the batter that is not right. it is the bananas, although overriped bananas are sweet but when fried, they soak up too much oil and when cooled, the batter will be soggy. try and fry with still firm ripe bananas.
