Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, egg, margarine, and lemon juice.
- 2
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously until a smooth, slightly runny batter is formed. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the bananas but not too thick to make them hard when fried.
- 3
Peel the green bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- 4
Heat cooking oil in a wok or deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature where a small drop of batter immediately floats to the surface and sizzles.
- 5
Dip each banana piece into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 6
Carefully place the coated bananas into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- 7
Fry the bananas, turning them occasionally with chopsticks or a slotted spoon, until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to maintain oil temperature.
- 8
Remove the fried bananas from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 9
Optionally, scoop out any crispy batter bits from the oil and serve them alongside the fried bananas for extra crunch.

Serve the Pisang Goreng hot and enjoy!
