Banana Fritters
These banana fritters are golden, crispy, and incredibly satisfying. Ripe bananas are coated in a simple batter of flour, coconut, sugar, and baking soda, then fried until perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and sweet inside. A popular street food treat that comes together in just minutes. Serve warm as a snack, dessert, or a sweet side dish.

- Heat vegetable oil for deep-frying over low heat, as shown in the video. Use two spoons to lower small portions of batter into the oil without overcrowding the pan.

The video gives a frying time of 4–5 minutes per batch. The existing 10-minute cooking field is an estimate for multiple batches; the full time depends on the number of batches.
