Ingredients

• 4 pieces ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice each one in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds to create six pieces per banana.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, curry powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Place the shredded coconut in another shallow dish to create a coating station.

Step 5

Dip each banana piece into the flour mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Shake off excess flour.

Step 6

Next, dip the floured banana piece into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off.

Step 7

Finally, roll the banana piece in the shredded coconut, pressing slightly to help the coconut adhere. Repeat this process with all banana pieces.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a piece of coconut—if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Step 9

Carefully place the coated banana pieces in the hot oil without crowding the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

Step 10

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the coconut crust is golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the bananas from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 12

Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or dessert. These pair beautifully with a drizzle of honey or a cooling yogurt dip.
