Several decades ago, bananas were an exotic fruit in our country. Now you won’t surprise anyone with them, and out of habit we eat them only raw. It turns out that bananas can be used to make delicious dessert dishes. In this article, we present six interesting banana recipes.

Fried bananas in batter. To prepare them, in addition to bananas, you will need 100 g of kefir, 100 g of flour, sugar, cinnamon and vegetable oil. We mix kefir and sugar, adding a little cinnamon, gradually add flour and stir. The batter should be about the consistency of sour cream. Dip peeled and chopped bananas in batter and fry until golden brown in a large amount of oil. Serve them with chocolate icing, ice cream, honey or sour cream.

Bananas in batter (Chinese version). Cooking batter: mix thoroughly 120 g flour, 150 g water, 1 tsp. starch and vegetable oil, 1 egg. Then fry the banana slices in it. Pour the finished pieces with melted honey and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Bananas in batter (Indian version) are prepared in a similar way. The difference is only in the ingredients of the batter - here you need 1 egg,flour, sugar and cardamom.

Bananas in batter (Indonesian version). For batter, you need coconut milk. If you can't buy it, you can make your own. To do this, mix half a glass of milk with vanilla sugar (1 tablespoon) and coconut flakes (4 tablespoons). Next, bring this mixture to a boil, boil for 1 minute, cool and filter. Now let's prepare the batter. It includes coconut milk, 50 g of vodka mixed with passion fruit syrup, 1 egg and a glass of flour. Fry banana pieces in batter in melted butter.

After frying, put the fruit on a paper towel or napkin to remove excess oil.

Banana in chocolate with walnuts. Melt a bar of chocolate - black or milk - in a water bath, then add 2 tbsp. l. condensed milk and stir. If a mass of too thick consistency is obtained, then it can be diluted with cream or milk. It is better to take bananas that are not long, peel them and cut them across into two parts. We string each half on a wooden skewer (breaking off the sharp end) and pour over with chocolate icing, and then sprinkle with chopped walnuts. In summer, this dish can be served frozen straight from the refrigerator.

Bananas in wine syrup. Pour 100 g of sugar into a saucepan, pour 150 g of red wine and bring to a boil. Then add cinnamon (at the tip of a teaspoon) and boil for 1 minute. Remove the resulting syrup from the heat, dip the bananas into it, cut into circles, and leave forsoaking for several hours. Put the dessert in a bowl, and put it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Besides the fact that a banana is a very tasty fruit, it has many useful substances. So, it is rich in vitamins A, B, C, E, as well as macro- and microelements (potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, zinc, iron), due to which its use helps to restore the skin, hair and nails, normalize bowel function, reduces the risk of stroke and even helps to quit smoking. For those who want to quickly satisfy their hunger, a banana is also suitable: the carbohydrates contained in it will help you recharge your batteries and cheer you up.
