Thai Fried Bananas
"I think these would be yummy served with some mango pulp mixed with a bit of heavy cream to dip them in. Mmmm... Or, serve with honey and a sprig of mint. From "Thai - the Essence of Asian Cooking"."

ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 6 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 4 firm bananas
- vegetable oil (for frying)
directions
- Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and egg until you have a thin batter. Whisk the shredded coconut into the batter.
- Peel the bananas and half lengthwise, then in half crosswise to make 16 pieces. (Don't do this until ready to cook to reduce browning).
- Heat the oil in a wok to 375 degrees or until a cube of bread dropped in brown in about 45 seconds. Dip the banana pieces in the batter then gently drop a few into the oil. Deep fry until golden brown, remove, drain on paper towel. Cook remaining bananas the same way.
- Serve with honey or mango pulp.

My passions: faith, family, food, and anything family history related. Almost nothing I like more than to chase headstones of my dearly departed ancestors. I've been working on a family cookbook for almost 2 years. (Need to figure out how I want to actually print it.) Enjoy learning about how what I grew up eating relates to my ancestors from Croatia and Alsace primarily. Enjoy following and forming new traditions within the walls of my home.
Some would say I lead a very boring and mundane life. I would say it's just what I ordered. I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom - which is what I truly love. Feel it's the best calling anyone could ever have. I've truly been blessed!
