Make the batter by sifting the flour and salt into a bowl with a tablespoon of cooking oil and a small amount of water. Mix well. Add more water and beat to a coating consistency. Whisk (whip) the egg white until stiff and fold into the batter. Use immediately. Dip each chunk of banana into the batter using a long pointed stick or fork, hold over the bowl for a few seconds to allow excess batter to drain off, and deep fry until crisp and golden. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot, sprinkle with sugar. Pineapple fritters can be made by the same method.
