A classic Malay snack made with very basic ingredients. While it looks simple enough, it took us some tries to get the texture right.
We used pisang raja as it has both the right amount of firmness and sweetness. For the batter, we used added ammonia powder which gives the crust a crisp beehive-ish texture and allows it to stay CRISPY~
This we believe is what contributes to a good goreng pisang!
