I share my pisang goreng recipe today in my humble way and I believe that all of you might have your own version of making fried banana, perhaps modified with more tasteful and served in various ways, such sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, coated with honey and toasted sesame seeds or topping with grated cheese or chocolate, however all must have appealing and absolutely lips smacking outcome!
