Resep: Nangka dan Pisang Goreng (Fried Jackfruit and Banana Fritters Recipe)

One of the most famous Indonesian snack, Pisang Goreng or in English, Banana Fritters or Fried Bananas. If you can fine ripe jackfruit then it's great, my favorite, also pineapple! Definitely not healthy but really I just can't say no. This recipe that I modified from my mom, she usually puts some cold butter (or margarine) into the batter, it's her secret. Rice flour and baking powder are my key ingredients for making it light and crispy. Also, I made coconut milk sauce infused with pandan leaves, perfect companion for both banana and jackfruit fritters. You can use almost any kind of banana or even ripe plantain, I find pisang uli (I don't know what's it in English) is best for banana fritters.
