Thai-Fried Bananas

These were super duper good!

The rice flour and tapioca flour give a lighter consistency to the breading on the outside.



THAI-FRIED BANANAS

1 pound bananas
3/4 cup rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour (can use cornstarch if in a pinch)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 T. sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup water (may need a little less)
4 cups oil for deep frying

Method: Peel and slice each banana lengthwise into four slices. In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca flour, sugar, salt, coconut and baking soda, then add water a little at a time. Mix well to form a thick batter. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or wok to 375 degrees F. Dip each piece of banana into the batter to completely coat, and deep fry until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
