Pisang Goreng (Fried banana)

Most popular Indonesian dessert; although back in Indonesia, it's more of a snack.
It is sold all over the street of Jakarta in a cart and boy oh boy..it's good! Best to accompany you in your tea/coffee time.

Here in Canada, I tried to blend in with the culture and serve it as a dessert with some vanilla ice cream and berries. Trust me, it is addictive!

Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1 egg
1 tsp sugar
6 tbsp. flour
A pinch of salt
2 tbsp. coconut milk
2 drops vanilla
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup peanut or corn oil (to fry)
Vanila ice cream and mixed berries (to serve)
Icing sugar (to dust)

Preparations:
Cut the bananas in half horizontally and then another half vertically, so that 1 banana will give you 4 pieces. Set aside.
In a bowl, mixed the egg, sugar, flour, salt, coconut milk and vanilla.
Put the unsweetened shredded coconut in another bowl, by itself.

Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Dip the banana slices in the batter and then dip them in the unsweetened shredded coconut and fry them until golden brown on both side. Do not over crowd the pan. Drain on paper towels.

Serve the fried banana by itself with tea/coffee as a snack; or if you are serving it as a dessert, serve it with some good vanilla ice cream, mix berries and dusted icing sugar.

Hope it satisfy your sweet tooth!
