hi I am indonesian--and pisang goreng is just the best. if you try to bake the bananas in the oven on a baking sheet (425 F) until they're crispy and use egg substitutes and reduced-calorie margarine (instead of butter) you'll cut down on a lot of fat. Read More

I made these just to try something different. They were pretty good although we could barely taste the rum flavoring. Also if I were to make them again I would use bananas that weren't quite so ripe - the fritters were a little too mushy for my liking. Thanks Unieng! Read More

I'm an Indo girl too and I LOVE pisang goreng!! DO NOT use banana's that are too ripe they'll be soggy after you fry them. Adding the rum was something new to me...but it's delicious!! Read More

I've made this a few times and it has come out perfectly every time. Try dusting the bananas with powdered sugar for a nice presentation or drizzling with chocolate sauce. I add regular vanilla instead of powdered vanilla and often exclude the butter. If you want it to have a stronger rum taste add a little at the end. So easy and delicious! Read More

This is really good. Reminds me of home. You can also use cooking bananas (plaintain). Let them ripe first for 1 or 2 more weeks until their skins turned black. By then the taste will be sweet and the meat will be firm not mushy like the regular banana. Yumm.... Read More
