Ingredients:
- 2 - 4 ripe bananas (old ones are very good)
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp shredded dry coconut (dessicated coconut)
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/3 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg (optional)
- few drops vanilla essence
- 1/3 cup rice flour for coating
- Oil for frying
Preparation:
- Peel and slice bananas in half and then again lengthwise.
- Mix all purpose flour, rice flour, corn starch, salt and 2 tbsp shredded coconut in a bowl and stir to combine. Add baking soda to water and mix it in the bowl into a batter.
- Crack an egg and whip it in the batter (optional - I tried it without the egg and it turned out pretty good)
- Mix 1/3 cup rice flour with 1 tbsp shredded coconut in a separate bowl.
- Dip banana slices into the batter first and then roll it in the rice flour - coconut mixture. This will firm up the bananas and make for a crispy coating.
- Shallow or deep fry the bananas in hot oil. (I shallow fried it)
