Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Green Banana Pakoras.
Step 1
Start by peeling the green bananas and slicing them into thin rounds.
Step 2
To keep those lovely slices from browning, soak them in a bowl of salted water for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the bananas are soaking, grab a mixing bowl and combine chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and baking soda.
Step 4
Slowly add water to the dry mixture, stirring until you create a smooth batter that has a medium consistency—not too thick and not too runny.
Step 5
Next, heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot.
Step 6
Once the bananas have soaked, drain them and gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 7
Now, dip each banana slice into the batter, making sure they’re well coated, and carefully place them in the hot oil.
Step 8
Fry the banana slices in batches, cooking them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
When they’re ready, remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to soak up any extra oil.
Step 10
Enjoy your deliciously crispy banana slices as a delightful snack or appetizer!.
