Then take some water and pour little by little into the mixed flour and mix again to make it into semisolid paste.
Now, take wide mouthed vessel with heavy bottom and pour oil into it for deep frying. Let the oil heat.
Once the oil is hot, dip the raw banana slices into the flour mix and then add them to the hot oil. Fry them until they turn into golden brown color.
