Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas (medium-sized, firm)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rice flour
- 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.25 cup water (cold)
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves or quarters, depending on your preference for size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, shredded coconut, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add coconut milk and cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth and slightly thick batter forms. The batter should coat the back of a spoon but not be too runny.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct oil temperature for even frying.
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully lower it into the hot oil.
Fry the bananas in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the bananas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried bananas with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Thai Style Fried Bananas warm, either plain or with a drizzle of honey, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
