Instructions

Marinating the Raw Bananas:

  1. Peeling and Slicing:
    • Peel the raw bananas and slice them into thin rounds or elongated pieces, as per your preference.
  2. Marinating Mixture:
    • In a bowl, combine turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and lemon juice to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Coating the Bananas:
    • Gently coat each banana slice with the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Allow them to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Coating for Crispiness:

  1. Preparing the Batter:
    • In a separate bowl, mix rice flour, besan, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add water to create a thick batter with a smooth consistency.

Frying the Raw Banana Slices:

  1. Heating the Oil:
    • Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan for frying. Ensure the oil is hot enough for a crispy texture.
  2. Dipping and Frying:
    • Dip each marinated banana slice into the batter, coating it evenly, and gently place it into the hot oil. Fry in batches until they turn golden brown and crisp. Ensure the heat is medium to high for a quick and even fry.
  3. Draining Excess Oil:
    • Once fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the banana slices and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Tempering for Enhanced Flavor:

  1. Tempering Process:
    • In a small pan, heat a tablespoon of oil. Add mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves, and a pinch of asafoetida (if using). Allow them to splutter and release their aromatic flavors.

Final Assembly:

  1. Tossing in Tempering:
    • Add the tempering to the fried raw banana slices, ensuring they are well-coated with the infused flavors.
  2. Garnishing:
    • Sprinkle chopped fresh coriander leaves over the raw banana fry for a burst of freshness and added visual appeal.
