1
Peel the Bananas
Carefully peel the ripe bananas and cut them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 2-3 pieces depending on your preference.

2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
3
Add Milk
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the bananas but not too runny.

4
Heat Oil
In a deep pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it's hot enough for frying. You can test this by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles, it's ready.
5
Coat the Bananas
Dip each piece of banana into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
6
Fry the Bananas
Carefully place the coated bananas in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7
Drain and Cool
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
