Thai Style Fried Bananas Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Fried Bananas, get all the ingredients together and keep them handy

Step 2: We will begin by making the batter for the fried bananas

Step 3: Into a large bowl, add in the maida, rice flour, corn flour, baking powder, salt, coconut and stir to combine well

Step 4: Next add in little water at a time to make a thick and almost smooth batter

Step 5: The batter should be such that it can coat the back of a spoon

Step 6: Keep the rice flour and sesame seeds ready

Step 7: If you are using mini bananas (almost a large finger size), then slice it lengthwise into half

Step 8: If you are using a large banana, then cut it into half, then slice it half lengthwise

Step 9: Keep it aside

Step 10: Next grease a 8 x 8 inch foil or a butter paper with oil and dust it with flour

Step 11: This is so that when we air fry the batter dipped bananas, they don’t stick to the foil or the paper

Step 12: Fit the foil or the butter paper pinching the ends so as to leave a little gap for air circulation

Step 13: Dip banana slices into the wet batter, then roll the wet batter coated banana slices into the dry rice flour and then onto the sesame seeds

Step 14: I like adding sesame seeds to the top as it adds a crunchiness to the air fried bananas

Step 15: Place the batter dipped bananas into the greased foil or butter paper

Step 16: Air fry the bananas at 200C for about 10 to 15 minutes, flipping half way through so it gets fried evenly all around

Step 17: Once ready, serve the Thai Crispy Fried Bananas as an tea time snack or even as a dessert served along with vanilla ice cream
