Banana Fritters with Coconut Batter
Serves 4
4 standard size Bananas
80 grams Rice Flour
40 grams of Desiccated Coconut
35 grams of Sugar
40ml of Coconut Milk
40ml of water
Clean Vegetable Oil for deep Frying
Vegan Ice Cream to Serve
Mix in a bowl the flour, coconut, sugar, coconut milk, and the water. Whisk this until it becomes a smooth batter, if it is a little thick add some extra water.
Peel and then slice the bananas in half length ways. If they are really big bananas cut in half at the middle.
Using a deep fat fryer or a pan with hot oil with a temp of 180C. Test it with a little bit of bread which should brown within a few seconds.
Dip each banana piece in the batter and then very gently drop into the hot oil. Be very careful when doing this as the oil could burn you. Cook in batches for approx. 5mins until golden brown. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and let the bananas drain on some kitchen towel.
Serve hot with vegan ice cream. Swedish Glace goes wonderfully with this.
