Thai bananas are coated in tapioca and coconut and deep fried for a lightly sweet Asian-inspired treat.
INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 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
PREPARATION:
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.
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).
Completely coat each banana slice in batter, then fry in hot oil until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve at once.
Editor's Note:We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
