Thai Fried Bananas

SUBMITTED BY: veggigoddess

"This is one of my favorite recipes. I have it every time I go to a Thai restaurant topped with coconut ice cream or drizzled with honey. If you have never tried it, now is the time, it's so good! I use Nam, a variety of banana which can be found at most Asian Markets. You can also use sweet potatoes in this recipe."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 3/4 cup white rice flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 10 bananas
  • 3 cups oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium bowl, mix rice flour, tapioca, sugar, salt and coconut. Stir in water, a little at a time, and mix to form a thick batter.
  2. Peel the bananas and cut each lengthwise into 3 or 4 pieces. Heat oil in deep-fryer or deep wok to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. Completely coat each banana slice in batter, then fry in hot oil until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve at once.
