Chuối Chiên

Ingredients(for 2-3 pieces of fried banana per person)

• 3 medium Ripe bananas (chuối sứ or chuối tây preferred)
• 1/2 cup Rice flour (bột gạo)
• 1/4 cup Whole wheat flour (for added fiber)
• 1/3 cup Coconut milk (fresh or canned)
• 1 tablespoon Sugar (reduce for lower calories) - optional
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
• as needed Water (to adjust batter consistency)
• for shallow frying Vegetable oil (use canola or sunflower for health)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional topping) - optional

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves or thirds, depending on size. Gently flatten each slice with the side of a knife or your palm.

   3 minutes

   Slightly flattening the banana ensures even cooking and more surface area for the crispy batter.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Mix well.

   2 minutes

   Sifting the dry ingredients will yield a lighter, crispier batter.

3. 3

   Gradually add coconut milk while stirring. Add water little by little until the batter reaches a thick but pourable consistency.

   3 minutes

   The batter should coat the back of a spoon but not be too runny.

4. 4

   Heat a shallow layer of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

   3 minutes

   Use just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for a healthier, less greasy result.
