You can have it with your evening tea.
Some dip it in chili sauce and some in hot soy sauce.
But you have to eat it while its still hot.
There's this local saying "Macam Pisang Goreng Panas" ( Like a hot fried banana ) which means something is popular only when it is still fresh and hot.
Fried Banana: pisang goreng has been around for generations and nothing has changed much.
The recipes varies from one stall to another but not much.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 100 g rice flour
- 30 g plain flour
- 1 level tbsp sugar
- ¼ level tsp salt
- 1 ½ tbsp sesame seeds
- 150 ml water
- 1 bunch cooking bananas.
Oil for deep frying
Method:
In a small mixing bowl combine the rice and plain flours, sugar, salt and sesame seeds. Stir in the water to make smooth batter.
Peel bananas and cut into halves lengthwise. Heat oil in a wok or saucepan over medium heat. (Oil should be about 4 cm deep.) When hot, dip the bananas into the batter and slip them into the hot oil. Fry a few pieces at a time until golden brown on one side and then turn over to brown the other.
As any other street food, it is simple and fast to cook.
Perhaps the most popular street food in Malaysia.
Only when its hot!
