The TikTok owner had said in his upload that he fried the banana fritters in medium hot oil.

"Fry in medium oil, not too hot," wrote the account owner as quoted by BrilioFood from the TikTok account @dapurmamaitaa.

Margarine contains fat that helps form a layer of flour that is crispier when fried. The water content in margarine also helps the gelatinization process of flour, resulting in a crispier texture. In addition, margarine gives a savory aroma to fried bananas.

Frying bananas with oil temperatures that are too high will make the outside brown quickly but the inside will not be cooked perfectly. The ideal temperature is medium heat because it allows the bananas to cook evenly and the flour to dry perfectly, resulting in a long-lasting crispy texture.
