Thai Style Fried Bananas are a popular dessert in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. They are often sold by street vendors and enjoyed as a sweet snack throughout the day. This dessert is made by slicing bananas and dipping them into a batter made of self-rising flour, rice flour, and water. The resulting fried bananas are crispy on the outside, sweet on the inside, and sprinkled with roasted sesame seeds for added flavor. This dessert is perfect for those with a sweet tooth or those who are looking for a creative way to use up their overripe bananas.

Instructions

1.	Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into thin pieces.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, mix together the self-rising flour, rice flour, water, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
3.	Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a pot to 375°F.
4.	Dip the banana slices into the batter and carefully place them into the hot oil.
5.	Fry the bananas until they turn golden brown on both sides.
6.	Remove the fried bananas from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
7.	Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bananas while they're still hot and serve immediately.
