  • Peel bananas and cut into thin slices. Soak in a bowl of salted water for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Add enough water to moisten the mixture; the batter should be neither too thick nor too runny in consistency. Keep stirring the batter to prevent lumps.
  • Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Drain banana slices and pat dry with paper towels. Dip in batter and place in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
