Next, fry the banana pieces covered in thick batter in hot oil. Use only medium heat to fry these bananas so that they are perfectly cooked and don't burn easily.

How to store flour so it doesn't get infested.
Storing flour to prevent lice from appearing requires attention to cleanliness and good storage techniques. Here are some ways to keep flour safe from bugs.
1. Store in an airtight container.
Use an airtight container made of glass, plastic, or metal to store flour. A tight container will prevent fleas and other insects from entering.
2. Store in a cool and dry place.
High temperatures and humidity can trigger the growth of fleas. Store flour in a cool, dry place, such as a cupboard out of direct sunlight.
3. Freeze new flour.
When you first buy flour, put it in the freezer for a few days. The cold temperature will kill any nits that may be in the flour.
4. Use bay leaves or other dry leaves.
Putting a few bay leaves in the flour storage container can help prevent fleas. It is believed that the smell of bay leaves is not liked by fleas.
5. Clean regularly.
Clean the shelves or cupboards where flour is stored regularly to remove food debris or flour that can attract fleas.
6. Rotate flour stocks.
Use a FIFO (First In, First Out) system to ensure the older flour is used first. This prevents the flour from sitting for too long and reduces the risk of infestation.
7. Use additional safety.
In addition to using an airtight container, adding a layer of plastic bag before placing the flour in the container can provide extra protection.
