Ingredients

1. Take 3 to 4 overripe bananas and cut them into bite size pieces
2. Refined flour (maida) , for dusting
3. Ice cold water, for dipping
4. 1 tsp sesame seeds

For the batter

1. 1 cup refined flour (maida)
2. A pinch of salt
3. Water as per the requirement
4. ¼ tsp baking powder

For the caramel

1. ½ cup sugar
2. 1 or 2 tbsp water

For garnishing

1. Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (as per your preference)
2. Mint leaves
3. Sesame seeds

Method

• Prepare a batter by mixing together the refined flour, salt, baking powder with required amount of water to form a smooth, lump free batter with a coating consistency. Leave it to rest for 5 to 10 mins.
  
• Slightly dust the cut banana pieces with refined flour, make sure they are coated evenly. Dip them into the batter.
  
• Deep fry in the medium hot oil until bananas attain a golden brown colour and are crispy and cooked properly.
  
• Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper.
  
• Meanwhile, add sugar and 1 or 2 tablespoons of water to one pan. Cook over medium heat until the sugar melts and turns into a deep golden colour.
  
• Working quickly, add the fried bananas to the hot caramel and toss gently until each piece is evenly coated.
  
• Immediately transfer the caramel coated bananas into a cold water bath, so the caramel hardens and forms a crispy shell around them. Remove and add them on an absorbent paper.
  
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish it with mint leaves and extra sesame seeds.
  
• You can add toppings of your own choice too.
