Hi. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. I am not sure…It’s worth trying. It would make a gluten-free version of the snack, right? If you do try it, let me know if it works. 🙂

Do you think these could be made with rice flour instead of wheat flour? They look delicious!

Ah, now I know the difference. Thanks for sharing! Definitely have to bookmark this recipe and try it out one of these days. I haven’t had fried bananas for a long time now!

Hi BrilliantViewpoint.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. It’s very similar, and I’ll certainly try this. I love the interaction going on here. It’s interesting to see how some ideas are universal…battering something, deep-frying and turning it into something delicious.

This was a great recipe. My mother makes something similar, Italian version, made with rice instead of bananas. She would make the Italian rice balls on a Sunday morning. They are sweet and kind of like a donut hole. THANK YOU for sharing. It’s wonderful to have favorite traditions.

FRITTELLE DI RISO
Frittelle di riso, fried rice fritters, are a Tuscan tradition for St. Joseph’s day, March 19. Across Tuscany you’ll find numerous festivals being held on this day to celebrate Italy’s “father’s day”.

frittelle di riso
INGREDIENTS

1 liter milk (about 4 cups)
150 gr. white rice
pinch of salt
3 eggs
50 gr. sugar
grated orange peel, from 1 orange
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
oil for frying
powdered sugar
In a sauce, heat up the milk, rice and salt. Cook until the rice softens and begins to fall apart; if you need to, add more milk during this time. Remove from heat and let the cooked rice cool down, even better if you cover it and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
In large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, orange peel and flour. Add the cooked rice and mix well. With your hands form small balls and set aside. Heat your frying oil up, then fry the balls until all sides are browned, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
Buon appetito!

Hi Spring Tomorrow. Thanks for dropping by & leaving a comment. 🙂 Glad to link up with a fellow Singaporean. I am based in Singapore (see my About page) too. These are not goreng pisang but jempur pisang, actually. Goreng pisang coats the banana in batter, but jempur pisang uses mashed bananas mixed with flour etc. Both are deep fried. The flavours are similar but these are two different recipes. 🙂 I love both kinds too.
BTW I popped into your blog too. Love your recipes, and am tempted to try a few too.
