    Tips & Tricks

    1)Make the batter at correct consistency. If you make it too liquidy, then it wont coat the banana. if you make it too thick then there will be too much outer batter covering for the vegetable.
    2) Don't add too much baking soda or It will drink up lots of oil.
    3) Slice the banana thinly.
