💯 Tips to make the best Banana Fritter (Indian Gulgula)

Banana Fritters served on Banana Leaf
  • Always use Ripe Bananas - These Banana Fritters are supposed to be sweet. So even if you have an overripe banana sitting on your countertop, use it. It will make these fritters extra sweet and delicious.
  • Add Desiccated Coconut - A commonly used ingredient in these Banana fritters, especially in Kerala is some Desiccated Coconut. If you want, you can use that as well. Just add it in the Banana fritter batter.
  • Fry them in hot oil - Make sure that before you pour the fritters in oil, the oil should be piping hot. Don't add in old oil.
  • Add a little amount of batter - Add only a little amount of the batter for frying. A lot of batter makes really big-sized fritters. Since the fritter batter has Baking soda in it, these puff up in size in hot oil. So, using a small amount of the batter will make sure you have small and cute Banan fritters.
  • Fry on high heat - Deep fry the Banana Fritters in hot oil. The hot oil will cook through the fritter. Also, fry until it gets evenly golden brown on all sides.
