Thai-style Bananas
by Tarla Dalal
You would have had desserts like Gulab Jamun or carrot halwa with Ice-creams .
However, Thai Style Bananas is refreshingly different, and quite unlike anything you might have tried before, because the banana fritters that form the base of this dessert are made with a sesame-tinged batter, which imparts a very appetizing aroma to it.
The addition of coconut further enhances the texture of these fritters, making them quite exciting to bite into.
The batter-coated banana slices will take some time to turn golden brown and crisp, so do be patient while deep-frying them. Drain the fritters, and serve immediately, topped with mouth-watering vanilla ice-cream.
