    About Crispy Stuffed Banana Recipe

    Crispy stuffed banana is nothing but ripe plantain banana stuffed with a cardamom flavoured coconut filling. The bananas are coated in a batter and panko and fried till crispy.

    The best banana for this recipe is ripe plantain because of their firm nature. Other banana will never hold its shape when fried. So try and use nendran pazham | kerala banana or plantain. 

    I used a light batter coating and drenched it in panko breadcrumbs before frying. You can fry this in coconut oil or ghee. 

    Stuffed bananas taste great when served hot right out of the fryer. But it tend to stay crunchy even after it cools because of the panko coating.
