Description

* Instead of honey, you can use melted chocolate or maple syrup (not typical for Turkish cuisine) * Instead of coconut flakes, you can use nut crumbs * Need I say that kids love this dessert, especially since they can make it together with their parents

Ingredients

Bananas - 4 pieces
Kataifi dough - 7.1 oz
Coconut flakes - 4 tablespoons
Nutmeg - to taste
Ground Cinnamon - to taste
Fresh Mint - to taste
Butter - 2 tablespoons
Citrus Zest Mix - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel each banana and cut it in half

Step 2

Dip the bananas in slightly acidic cold water. Pour the coconut flakes onto a flat plate. Roll each banana piece in the flakes on all sides. Then wrap the pieces with strands of kadayıf dough.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat a little vegetable and butter (or clarified butter). Fry the bananas in the dough on all sides until golden brown. Place the finished bananas on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 4

Then place the bananas on a plate, sprinkle with ground cinnamon, zest, and grate nutmeg over the bananas. Garnish with mint leaves and drizzle with honey.
