HOW TO MAKE : BANANA FRITTERS

Banana Fritters

This is a great way to use up over-ripe bananas, by mashing them up with flour, sugar  and coconut cream and deep-frying them

Ingredients:

2 large or 6 small over-ripe bananas (about 10 oz/300g), peeled

1  tablespoon sugar

¼ teaspoon salt (optional)

1 tablespoon flour

¼ cup (60 ml) coconut cream oil, for deep-frying

Cooking Directions:

1. In  a mixing bowl, mash the bananas with the sugar, salt (if using), flour and coconut cream into a sticky, slighty moist batter.
2. Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan until very hot. Using very moist fingers, pinch about 1 heaped tablespoons of the batter, roll it into a ball and glenty lower it into the hot oil. Deep-fry for 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally , until crispy and golden brown on all sides. Do not  overcrowd the pan with the batter or temperature of the oil will drop. Remove from the hot oil and drain on paper towels

3.    Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm with ice
cream or a bit of coconut cream on top.
