Crispy Kerala Banana Fritters - Easy Snack Food Recipes | CulinaryCreationss

Ingredients

• Ripe Plantains (or firm-ripe bananas): About 2-3 medium-sized. Look for plantains that are mostly yellow with some black spots, or firm-ripe yellow bananas. Avoid green or overly mushy ones.
• All-purpose flour: 1 cup (120g)
• Rice flour: 2 tablespoons (optional, but highly recommended for that extra crispness!)
• Granulated sugar: 2-3 tablespoons (adjust to your sweetness preference)
• Pinch of salt: Just a tiny bit to balance the sweetness.
• Baking powder: ¼ teaspoon (a tiny amount helps with puffiness)
• Ground cardamom: ½ teaspoon (optional, but adds a wonderful authentic aroma)
• Water or milk: ¾ to 1 cup (use water for a lighter, crispier fritter; milk for a slightly richer flavor and softer texture)
• Neutral frying oil: Enough to deep-fry (like coconut oil for authenticity, or vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil)
