Jaje Godoh - popular Indonesian snack made by deep-frying bananas



 Certainly! "Pisang goreng" is a popular Indonesian snack made by deep-frying bananas. Here's a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

  • Ripe bananas (preferably plantains)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rice flour (for extra crispiness)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup water (adjust consistency)
  • Oil for frying (enough to submerge the bananas)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the bananas:

    • Peel the bananas and slice them into your desired size (usually diagonally or into rounds).
    • If using plantains, make sure they are ripe but firm.
  2. Make the batter:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
    • Gradually add water while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the bananas but still pourable.
  3. Coat the bananas:

    • Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
    • Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  4. Fry the bananas:

    • Carefully place the coated banana slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
    • Fry the bananas until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
    • Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. Serve:

    • Pisang goreng is best enjoyed warm. Serve it as is or with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a side of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
  6. Variations:

    • Some people like to add a pinch of cinnamon or other spices to the batter for extra flavor.
    • You can also experiment with different types of bananas or even other fruits like sweet potatoes or jackfruit.

Enjoy your homemade pisang goreng!
