Malaysians like to eat fried bananas during tea time. This is one of the popular tea time meals for us because its delicious, soft, sweet and easy to get. To fry bananas, make sure that the bananas are half ripe to ensure best results. If the bananas are too ripe, they will turn very soggy, hence will be difficult to fry. Moreover, they will not end up in the original shape and melt with the oil.
