World's Easiest Snack : Ghee-fried Bananas
Okay, maybe my title is a slight exaggeration but really! This is one simple snack thats yummy too. It used to be my favourite 'tuck' when I was in school and my grandmom used to make it with so much of love and affection (not to mention the amount of homemade ghee that used to go into it - no wonder I was a fat child). Even the last vacation I went home for, Mary, our maid, made this and some pieces were deliberately overdone and burnt, cuz I like them that way. So here we go - ghee fried bananas!
You will need:
Ethappazham/nenthrapazham : 2
Ghee : 4-5 tbsp
Sugar : to sprinkle
Method:
Cut the bananas in circles. The pieces should be 1/2" thick.
Pour ghee into a pan and when it warms up, add the banana pieces. Keep fire in sim and fry them till they turn golden brown.
Sprinkle sugar generously when the banana pieces are still warm.
They taste crispy when warm and soft and spongy when cold.
I would like to send this across to two events, JFI - Banana hosted by Ahaar and 'What's your favourite snack?' hosted by Snackorama.
