Thai Fried Bananas กล้วยแขก - Hot Thai Kitchen!

Fried bananas are a popular dessert in Thai restaurants, but I'm going to show you the original fried banana recipe that is actually a street food that we eat for snacks and even breakfast! I'm using sweet plantains in this video, but you can also use taro and sweet potato for something more savoury.

Can i use "saba" banana instead?

[@kimtan6014]

Tried 3 times. Banana pcs turned like mochi. Wrong type of banana?

I know this was posted years ago but this is the perfect example of explanatory instructions! I followed all the way through & understood everything you meant. Thank you so much I have been messing up this flour for the longest time but today you helped me out so much. I appreciate it!

Love the way you reach out, not taking yourself too seriously but still teaching in great detail with lots of care and tips. Pailin, you're born to teach! Personality plus!

I'm from Kerala, India and Yes we have this here as a street food. I've been watching a lot of your videos lately, and I'm surprised by the similarities we have with Thai cuisine. Even Galangal and Lemon grass grow here but nobody uses it for cooking though. Fried bananas are immensly popular here (FYI Kerala is in the south of India)

[@dhammanunthd.4387]

Yes, this is totally an indian dish, orginally we never have any fried dishes on the menu before, I believe we took a lot of fried dishes from other country, like spring roll from chinese fellas for example.

[@AvoniasStratigis]

[@karencas7174]

I eat fried plantains often. This recipe gives me another variation. I can't wait to cook it! Also, I see the small bananas in my local Asian grocery store, so now I can use them in this. Yum!!

[@eliannakathleengrace631]

My friends mom is from Thailand and always used to make these for us when we were kids.

[@nancysamuel4311]

Thanks for ur recipe... I made this for my prayer group and everyone loved it...

[@MikeAndNary]

I saw a street vendor in Thailand use the coconut shreads along with coconut water in the batter instead of using tap water.

[@akaturaorse]

My grandparents are Thai and they would make fried bananas for breakfast or for a road trip snack when we would visit them. I am so excited to try out your recipe!

[@vrishnisivakumaran7926]

The sort of thing you'd make in Breath of the Wild. Tried these and it was delicious.

[@philomenafernandes9589]

It's so cute when you actually chew the bits to proove it's crunchy..so cute!

[@minaok6786]

I've become addicted to your channel, you explain everything in a nice and straightforward way, you have a calming voice and basically now I want to try and make every recipe you have on your channel, I really want to eat Thai food ☺️❤️

[@avasims1493]

i made this tonight, and they came out perfect. Really reminded me of my trip to Thailand eating this street food while shopping on the floating market.

[@MAFIA187PRODUCTIONS]

If y’all prefer thicker batter as Cambodians make them, add more rice flour for a thicker consistency and flour the plantain before adding to the batter so it sticks well before adding to the oil.

[@rosannalagadia5257]

I really admire how you teach..ur not boring n u r cute...

[@Nonotme888]

Yum! Thank you for this simple recipe. I’ve viewed others and they’re too complex. Made 2 batches and ate them all. Scrunchy and not too sweet!

[@Mikomido5]

My mom used to always get these at the Thai festivals so I grew up eating a lot of these!

[@dadarmwn]

In Indonesia we have so many types of banana, and of course type of fried banana. Either cut it like Pailin did, or cut into chunks. Mostly the dough made with ap flour instead just rice flour, no coconut and sesame added. In eastern part of Indonesia, fried banana is totally different. I use in Sulawesi, and here we like to use unripe or at least semi-ripe banana fo fry. The dough made with rice flour, a little bit ap flour (I guess), and lime water for crunchiness. It has very little sweetness or even not sweet at all. We dip the fried banana in sambal, like chili sauce.

[@Jo-bo1mp]

Looks so good! I will definitely try them soon when I find these right bananas. Thanks for all the great recipes and I have tried many of them and they are all fantastic! Keep it up!

[@MN0503]

It's called Pazhampori in Kerala , India . We usually serve these with hot tea for a teatime snack. We do use rice flour & sesame & use the plantains .Super yummy 👍

[@foongpedq2238]

I love this recipe and I m sure to..... Use Thai banana "Namwa" only Use More green than yellow banana, Do not use ripe Banana Do not add coconut flake

[@jenniferthanhhango5018]

Just made it for Thanksgiving side dish, appetizer! Amazingly crunchy! Best recipe ever!

[@johnr1348]

I love how every episode is a lesson! You are a fantastic teacher!

[@litachow1327]

Love your recipe and show. I am going to try it and will add some taro or sweet potato also. That will give us more variety of snacks. Yummy! Thanks for the recipe.

[@TheBigchipmonk]

I'm Puerto rican my husband is from Laos I love watching your recipe thanks

[@priscillajoseph765]

This was most enjoyable to watch as Caribbean people also fry plantin for breakfast or a side for lunch and dinner. They don't put a coating on, just gently fry in coconut oil. The coated plantin OR banana would be mashed and made up with a batter to make fritters, very ripped fruit is used. I just thought I would mention it.

[@manuelabecker9554]

I'm from suriname...we call it here bakabana....javanese snack...delicious with peanut sauce (pinda sambel)...yumyummm...

[@peterstang]

This sure is a very good recipe for a snack. Thank you.

[@PSDT100]

k. Pailin, I'm from Manila, and this is one of my all time favourite snack in Bangkok. At least now I can try cooking them back home.

[@TameTusker]

Bulk Barn in Canada carries a variety of shredded coconut. In India,the plantain is deep fried with "besan" ( chick pea) flour,,with asafoetida salt rice flour and chilli powder added to it.:):):)

[@vickigoodman1614]

At last!!! A Thai friend banana recipe! When I lived in Thailand we used to buy these from the street vendors. Yum! I had a Thai friend who made them for me once. But, that was so long ago. I would like to share this recipe with my children and grandchildren. Just to keep them connected with their culture. Plus, it's so much fun to do!! You are such a sweetheart. As long as you make youtube videos I will be your fan. *hugs Sawadi-Ka!

[@leilakamal6838]

I had this in Thailand. Yummy

[@stanleymeyer9936]

Whenever you heat sugar and starch to the point of caramelization, the darker it gets, the amount of carcinogenic acrylamide. To minimize that, I would suggest sliced plantain drizzled all sides with olive oil, sprinkle some brown sugar, placed on foil, placed in toaster oven, 300 degrees 10 minutes flip, 5 more minutes, minimizes toxicity and may add cinnamon for additional flavor

[@Yemery_21]

Oh gosh... this reminded me of the time i lived in Thailand :O Thanks for the recipe, i can have a little bit of Krungthep with me :P

[@NilDreams]

Cubans (like me) fry those same plantains when they are even more black and without that batter....just the sliced up plantain...so sweeet!! We slice them diagonally. We have them as a side dish to our main course. I love them. I will have to try them using this recipe. Looks yummy!

[@briantyhy4880]

I saw thai short banana's in the superstore today. I loved these when I could get them when traveling in asia. Tomorrow, Im going down to the superstore for rice flour and thai banana's thanks for sharing

[@emilyconcannon]

She is so adorable 😊

[@lillykue5163]

3/4 cup rice flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 cup shredded coconut 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

[@Shaden0040]

The fried bananas I've had at thai restaurants use wonton wrappers with sweer shreaded coconut and crystalized ginger along with the banana wrapped up in a wonton wrapper then deep fried. served with a sweet and hot chili paste and mixd toasted and non-toasted seasame seeds.and a little lime juice.

[@easybullet3]

That's a different dessert, and has a different name.

[@dh3w]

It is street food too in Indonesia

[@te60eh]

Your smile is contagious (in every video). My friends thought i was watching comedy movie. But then they are looking at me like a weirdo, because I keep smiling over a cooking video.

[@paulo929refael2]

One vendor in Bangkok adds shelled roasted peanuts 🥜 to the rice batter! It’s a great addition 😋 for fantastic crunchy bits 🤩🍌☺️

[@listyaariputri]

hello! i'm from indonesia and this is a common street food here too. (as someone said here, i think this is a tipically south east asian snack). my mom love make this fried banana too. my mom use all purpose flour to make this, but a street food seller use all purpose and rice flour mixture (i think). so it still have crunchiness but it's not too hard to bite.

[@natsyoutube]

Hi Pai, great video with lots of tips and information as always. Interestingly you mentioned this dish is eaten for breakfast in Thailand. Could you please make a video or write a quick note about what is typically eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner in Thailand, as i am very interested in changing my eating habits and am looking for other options in structuring my meals. I thank you for all the time and effort you make to keep us authentically informed and knowledgeable : ) Lots of greetings.

[@lanhod]

The way i eat it, after the first bite shove it down into the stray bits to pick them up for the second bite 😁

[@chombiehello3515]

Yes you are right,it probably originated from kerala.Many similar snacks orugibayed from india and brought over by earlier immigrants

[@martinhannemann]

Hi, I just love your videos... I am here in the Phils now, people are so lazy here about cooking. They live in the same climate zone...amazing. But I introduced Thai cooking for them and they love it! But I must say, they have the best fresh fish I ever tasted, you do not need much for this to prepare. Just salt it and then on the grill. With some prik naam plaa it is fantastic! So I will survive! Thank you for all your wonderful videos Martin

[@SandyTheFoodieAndTheFeast]

I live in Australia and we call the short bananas ' Ladyfinger' bananas. They're my favorite! My mom uses some kind of red starch in water to make it crispy. No idea what it's called in English though😅

[@marieke954]

I made this recipe with sweet potato (the purple one) as I don't like bananas. It was delicious! And so crispy! Thank you for the recipe :) Next time I'm gonna make this with taro.
