Ingredient Notes

Banana – Any type of bananas will do. The best type will be the horn banana (Pisang tanduk). If you can only have Cavendish bananas, it will be fine. Choose a ripe one. Wait until it has some black dots on the skin.

Glutinous rice flour and Tapioca flour – This flour will make the skin a little bouncy.

Cake Flour – Use cake flour or all purpose flour.

Rice Flour – Rice flour will make the skin crispy for longer time.

Butter or Margarine – You can either use butter or margarine.

Sesame Seeds – Sprinkle sesame seeds into the batter. When deep-fried, the fritter will be even more fragrant.
