METHOD
In a bowl mix the flours, sugar and sesame seeds with the water and coconut milk to a smooth batter. How thick? Not too thick. Not too thin!
In a small pot, heat the oil to just smoking. When it begins to smoke, lower the heat slightly. Watch it carefully! Batter each slice of banana and add carefully to the oil. Don’t overcrowd the pot. Fry until they are golden brown and turn each with tongs if you need to.
Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds and with yoghurt and honey.
