Fried using brown leaves makes a different taste from ordinary fried bananas.
I add brown leaf fried banana because the fried banana is fried using fresh green leaves.
Don't get me wrong. Bananas are still fried in oil like any other fry. However, in Cot Iju, Bireuen, Aceh (Indonesia), you will find different frying techniques.
The banana is sliced thinly, then covered with flour. Before being thrown into a medium-sized frying pan filled with boiling hot cooking oil, the fried bananas are coated with brown leaves that are still fresh green in color.
The customers buy Cot Iju fried bananas.
Not only fried bananas but also tofu and tempeh fried.
Not the fried brown leaves that we eat, but fried bananas. I once asked why using a brown leaf coating. The vendors there, two or not girls, said to make it less sticky and make the bananas more savory.
Intrigued by the taste? These brown leaf fried bananas are easily available for users of Jalan Medan - Banda Aceh in the Bireuen area, Aceh. Jalan Medan - Banda Aceh is a road that crosses Sumatra. So, if you happen to come across it, please stop by Cot Iju's Chocolate Leaf Fried Banana.
Not only fried bananas are sold there, but there is also fried tofu.[]
The raw material for brown leaf fried banana is available beside the seller.
