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)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves or quarters, depending on your preference for size.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, shredded coconut, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully lower it into the hot oil.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the fried bananas with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
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.
