Ei ke kyaw (အိုက်ကြော်)

Instructions

1. Cut the bananas into thick 1 cm rounds or halve them lengthways.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
3. Add the egg and water little by little while whisking until you have a smooth, fairly thick batter.
4. Heat the oil in a saucepan to about 170 °C: a drop of batter should sizzle and rise straight away.
5. Dip the banana pieces into the batter, then fry them in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes until golden.
6. Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot, sprinkled with coconut if you like.
