3 -4 large bananas (sliced and brushed with red chili paste)

3 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • . Peel and cut the bananas into ½ inch slices brush them with the chili paste and sandwich them back together again. Stick them together with a toothpick so they will not fall apart when you dip into the batter and then into the fry oil.

  • For fritter batter- Combine eggs and beer. Combine all dry ingredients. Fold dry ingredients into wet.
  • 3. Once the bananas are chilled, dip in the fritter batter and let the excess batter drip off and then fry at 350 degrees until golden brown. When cooked drain on a paper towel and remove the toothpick and dust with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • 4. Place 3 banana fritters per person on a plate and drizzle with honey and serve immediately.
