Deep Fried Bananas

Ingredients

• 1 cup rice flour
• pinch salt
• 1/2 cup fresh coconut, grated
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1/2 cup water
• 5 sugar bananas, small sweet or regular bananas
• 4 cups canola oil

Method

• Sift the flour with the salt. Stir in the coconut, sugar and sesame seeds and whisk in water. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes. The batter should coat the bananas easily. If too thick, add another 2 tablespoons of water.
• Slice the bananas lengthways, dip into the batter and deep-fry, a few slices at a time in a wok half filled with the oil over a medium heat. Remove, drain and serve immediately.
