Chuối Chiên (Fried Bananas)

Ingredients

• 4 medium Ripe bananas
• 1 cup Rice flour
• 1/4 cup Tapioca starch
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup Coconut milk
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 4 medium ripe bananas and cut each one in half lengthwise.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of rice flour, 1/4 cup of tapioca starch, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1 pinch of salt until well combined.
3. 3Gradually pour in the 3/4 cup of coconut milk while whisking continuously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
4. 4Pour the 2 cups of vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep frying pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. 5Dip each banana half into the smooth batter, making sure it is completely coated on all sides.
6. 6Carefully place the battered banana pieces into the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy.
7. 7Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bananas from the hot oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to allow excess oil to drain off.
8. 8Serve the Chuối Chiên warm.
