How to make Fried Bananas

Ingredients for Thai Fried Bananas

• 5-6 Baby Bananas, peeled and sliced in half length-wise
• ¾ Cup Rice Flour
• ¼ Cup Tapioca Flour
• 2 Tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• ½ Cup Shredded Coconut
• 1 ¼ Cup Water
• Oil for frying
• Honey for drizzling, optional
• Powdered Sugar for dusting, optional

Step by Step Directions

Prepare the Batter:

To initiate this fried banana recipe, grab a medium-sized bowl and combine together all of your dry ingredients like the rice flour, tapioca flour, sugar, salt, and shredded coconut. This combination will give the fried Thai bananas their signature and crunchy texture.

While stirring up the mixture, Slowly add water until you achieve a thick and somewhat lumpy batter consistency—just right for coating the bananas well.

Heat the Oil in your Outdoor Fryer:

On the other hand, get your Bioexcel outdoor deep fryer ready by adding about ½ gallon of vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 350°F. Maintaining the right temperature for frying and having the best oil for deep frying is the key to have the best outcomes and the best taste ever.

The outdoor fryer perfectly creates that crispy and crunchy fried banana crust while keeping the inside moist and deliciously sweet. The plus point is-using an outdoor deep fryer delivers a distinctive flavor to banana fries, making them even more authentic and alluring.

Coat and Fry the Bananas:

Cut the bananas into half! Once the oil reaches the desired temperature, give a full coat each sliced banana with the batter. Gently lower each banana into the hot oil. Keep in mind that It's way far important not to overcrowd the outdoor fryer, as this will prevent the bananas from sticking together and help them to fry evenly from each side.

Let these banana fries cook for approximately 2-3 minutes or until they turn into a  beautiful golden brown text. You’ll know without any difficulty that they’re done when you see that perfect crisp on the outside—just the way authentic Thailand banana should be.

Drain and Serve Thai Banana:

Take the golden-brown fried bananas out from the oil and thoroughly drain off any excess oil.

Place them beautifully in your serving plate. For a finishing touch, drizzle with honey or dust with powdered sugar to add extra hype to the flavor.

To make this fried banana recipe even more indulgent, serve it a la mode with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips for Having the Perfect Banana Fries

• Choose the Right Bananas: Baby bananas are regarded as the best for this fried banana recipe because they are comparatively sweeter and have a more intense flavor. Make sure that they are just ripe as overly ripe bananas may become too mushy when fried and will create fuss.
• Use an Outdoor Fryer: The outdoor fryer provides a valuable advantage when frying because it maintains a stable temperature, giving consistently crispy exterior. It works ideally for recipes like this, where temperature control is key to getting that golden-brown fried banana crust.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Fryer: We know that when it’s time for frying, less is more. Fry the bananas in small batches. That is how they will not stick together and cook evenly.
• Play with Toppings: Who will say a no to try out unique and tempting add-ons to the taste buds! You must bring variations to the toppings. While honey and powdered sugar are the fine toppings, you can also give a touch of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon to make your fried Thai banana recipe even more delightful and cherished.
