Bananas are a favorite treat all over the world. In our country, only in recent years they began to be used to prepare any dishes, and before they were eaten only raw. And today "banana" cooking is not very well developed in our country.
But in all other countries, a great experience has been accumulated in the preparation of these delicious and delicate fruits. They make cookies, pancakes, bake banana bread, make cakes, casseroles and a huge number of other dishes.
Fried bananas in batter are considered by many nations of the world their national dish. All of them have their own variety of bananas, their own batter recipe, their own cooking methods. Here, for example, is the Malaysian banana recipe in batter .
For cooking you will need:
- bananas - 5 pcs;
- Jamaican or Cuban rum - a tablespoon;
- brown sugar - 2-3 large spoons;
- milk - half a glass;
- corn flour - a glass;
- vanillin - to taste;
- cinnamon to taste;
- animal oil;
- vegetable oil.
In a deep bowl, dough is made from cornmeal, melted butter, rum, sugar, vanillin, cinnamon and milk. Dip the bananas, sliced in circles (not very thin) with a spoon, into the dough. Fry in a large amount of boiling fat.
Put the finished bananas on a paper towel or in a sieve to stack fat. Sprinkled with powder, served hot.
The banana recipe in beer batter came to our country from the northern countries, where fruit in batter is very popular. The recipe provides that beer gives a pungent bitter taste, and pepper warms up the blood.
To prepare the batter, one and a half glasses of beer (preferably dark) are mixed with ground pepper, salt, grated almonds, flour and beaten egg. The dough should turn out like sour cream, but malleable. Bananas are dipped in batter, fried over high heat.
This dish has a subtlety: the less flour there is in the dough, the more airy and crispy the batter turns out.
Recipe for bananas in batter in Chinese (No. 1) seems completely original, because to make batter you will need carbonated orange juice. If you don’t have a finished drink at hand, you can prepare it by mixing the juice of 3 oranges with one part of mineral water such as “Silver” or “Iverskaya”.
Cinnamon, a quarter of a small spoonful of aromatic honey, flour (preferably corn) are added to carbonated juice. Beat thoroughly, fry in boiling oil. Some foodies add a tiny pinch of black pepper to the batter. It turns out very juicy. A similar batter can be prepared on the basis of tangerine juice.
The banana recipe in batter in Chinese (No. 2) is very different in taste from the first.
For batter take:
- bananas - 4 pcs;
- starch - a quarter cup;
- flour - half a glass;
- icing sugar - to taste;
- sparkling water.
All the ingredients are carefully mixed so that the batter turns out in consistency similar to pancake dough. Bananas are dipped into it, cut not in circles, but in strips. Although this is probably not fundamental. When the excess oil drains from the fried pieces, they are carefully laid out in a saucepan with hot glaze. It is prepared by dissolving the powder in water (approximately 1 to 8). After a couple of minutes, caramelized bananas are laid out on a dish.
There is another banana recipe in batter, based on the first two. The proportions remain the same as in the second recipe, but instead of water, orange or tangerine carbonated juice is taken. This applies to batter and caramel. Serve such bananas with tangerine or oranges sauce.
They do it like that. About 2 cups of tangerine juice is mixed with mustard and starch (in a large spoon), add 3 tablespoons of honey, 2 - wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, cook until thickened. For orange juice, naturally, take oranges. This piquant sauce, by the way, can be a great addition not only to fried bananas, but also to pork.
