Take three bananas, a third of a glass of milk, two eggs, half a glass of flour, a large spoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, vegetable oil and a little honey.

Bananas in Chinese
How else can you cook bananas in batter? The recipe for the following dish can be called original. To prepare it you will need 4 bananas, 5 large spoons of good honey, a small spoon of sesame seeds, oil for frying (corn or peanut), lemon juice. For the batter, take 80 grams of flour, 150 grams of water, two large spoons of corn starch, the white of one egg, a quarter spoon of baking powder and a small spoon of sesame oil. First of all, prepare the batter. To do this, mix flour, starch and baking powder. In a separate bowl you need to combine the protein, water and sesame oil.
Now the two compositions need to be combined. We do this carefully so that no lumps form. Next, peel the bananas and cut them into not very thin circles or strips. Heat the oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Dip each piece of banana in batter and place in deep fryer. Fry until nicely browned. You shouldn’t throw too many pieces into the pan at once. It is necessary that they fry well without interfering with each other. Then we take them out onto a paper towel. Separately, fry the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan. Heat honey and lemon in a saucepan and pour this mixture over each battered banana. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Simple recipe
Let's start with a very simple dish. To prepare a banana in batter, you need to take two medium-sized fruits, a glass of flour, a little kefir (100-150 milliliters), a large spoon of sugar, half a small spoon of soda, vegetable oil, powdered sugar and cinnamon. First, let's prepare the batter. To do this, mix sugar, soda, flour and cinnamon.
Pour kefir into a separate bowl and mix it with the rest of the ingredients. The result should be a mixture with a consistency similar to sour cream, but not very liquid. Now you need to peel the bananas and cut them into pieces. Cut each fruit lengthwise and then in half. This size will be sufficient. If the bananas are long, you can cut them into three parts. There is no need to make the pieces too thin, otherwise there will be not enough filling in the dessert. Place the frying pan on the fire and pour vegetable oil into it. There must be a lot of it. Heat it until it boils. Then dip the bananas well in the batter and place them in boiling oil. Frying time on each side is about 2 minutes. We take them out onto a paper towel and then place them on a plate. The dessert is completely ready. The battered banana becomes tender and very soft, and the light crispy crust gives the dish a special piquancy.
