Thai Fried Banana ( Kruay Kaek )

These bananas make lovely sweet snacks. I don't think it originated in Thailand because it is found all throughout Asian. This is my mother's version of the recipe.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 4  large bananas (unripe with a little yellow)
• 1  cup  rice flour
• 1  cup coconut milk
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄4 cup coconut flakes (optional)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon black sesame seed
•  oil (for frying)

Directions

1. Preheat the oil for deep frying.
2. Mix the flour, coconut mild, salt, sugar, and sesame seeds into a smooth batter.
3. Peel the bananas, cut them in half, then lengthwise into three strips (6 pieces per a banana).
4. When oil is ready, dip bananas in batter, and drop into hot oil. Repeat until all bananas are done.
5. Remove from oil when they start to brown. Place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
