Thai Fried Bananas Ingredients :

  • 6 namwa bananas (these are tropical bananas that are smaller). Can also substitute and use 1-2 plantains.
  • 3/4 cup Iya Foods Tapioca Flour
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 3 tsp honey (less if you have super ripe bananas)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water + more if batter dries up
  • Vegetable oil for frying

How to Make Thai Fried Bananas

1

Peel and cut the namwa bananas in half lengthwise. Set aside.

2

Mix tapioca flour and slowly pour water in to form a thick batter.

3

Add shredded coconut, sesame seeds, salt and honey (less if you have very ripe bananas or prefer less sweet). Stir in more water if batter seems dry.

4

Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a pan, enough for the bananas to submerge at least halfway.

5

Dip the bananas on both into the mixture. Fry them on each side until golden and crispy. Be careful not to overcook or burn. Use a slotted spoon to take them out to drain on paper towels.
