Thai Fried Banana, also known as Kruay Kaek, is a popular dessert in Thailand. This sweet and crispy snack is perfect for those looking for a unique and flavorful treat. The bananas used in this recipe are unripe and still slightly yellow, making them the perfect texture for frying. The batter is made of rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar, with optional coconut flakes and black sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. The end result is a deliciously sweet and crunchy dessert that can be enjoyed warm with your favorite dipping sauce or an extra sprinkle of coconut flakes (if desired).

Instructions

1.	Cut the peeled bananas into halves.
2.	In a bowl, mix together the rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, coconut flakes (if using), salt, and black sesame seeds to make the batter.
3.	Heat oil in a deep frying pan.
4.	Dip the banana halves in the batter, then deep fry them until golden brown.
5.	Remove the fried bananas from the oil and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
6.	Serve the Thai Fried Banana warm with your favorite dipping sauce or an extra sprinkle of coconut flakes (if desired).
