Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds or diagonal slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Finely slice the green chilies and shallots. Add them to the bowl with the bananas.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and roasted peanuts. Set aside for garnishing later.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing the fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, sesame oil, and salt. Stir well until the palm sugar dissolves completely.
Pour the dressing over the banana mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring the bananas are evenly coated without mashing them.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle the chopped cilantro and roasted peanuts on top as garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light appetizer. Enjoy the balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors!
