Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice each one in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds to create six pieces per banana.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, curry powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash.
Place the shredded coconut in another shallow dish to create a coating station.
Dip each banana piece into the flour mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Shake off excess flour.
Next, dip the floured banana piece into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off.
Finally, roll the banana piece in the shredded coconut, pressing slightly to help the coconut adhere. Repeat this process with all banana pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a piece of coconut—if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
Carefully place the coated banana pieces in the hot oil without crowding the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the coconut crust is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the bananas from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or dessert. These pair beautifully with a drizzle of honey or a cooling yogurt dip.
