Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams rice flour
- 30 grams sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 30 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
- 10 grams sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 180 milliliters coconut milk
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, salt, shredded coconut, sesame seeds, and baking powder.
Gradually add the coconut milk to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth, thick batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 180°C (350°F).
Dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Carefully lower the coated banana pieces into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the bananas for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Thai Fried Bananas warm, either on their own or with a drizzle of honey, powdered sugar, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
