How to Cook Indonesian Deep-Fried Banana

A popular Indonesian snack, pisang goreng is battered and deep-fried banana. It is the Indonesian version of a banana fritter. I had the opportunity to enjoy authentic pisang goreng during my visit to Indonesia, where street vendors sell this snack all day. Now that I'm on vacation again, I find myself craving this snack. I decided to try to recreate it at home.
