Deep-fried Bananas with Caramel Sauce

Description
Use big bananas! If your bananas are too small or too mushy, they will burn.

Ingredients

 * 4 bananas


 * 1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and finely chopped


 * 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

Sauce:
 * vegetable oil
 * 1 1/2 tablespoons butter


 * 1 cup brown sugar


 * 4 tablespoons water


 * 1 1/4 cups coconut milk

Directions

 * 1) Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthways, then half again, so that you have long strips.


 * 1) Mix the hazelnuts and breadcrumbs in a bowl and roll the banana pieces in it.


 * 1) Press some of the mixture into the flesh to make sure it is well coated.


 * 1) Heat all the sauce ingredients in a small heavy sauce pan, stirring constantly.


 * 1) Heat the oil in a wok to 180 degrees Celsius.


 * 1) How much oil you use is relevant to how big your wok is.


 * 1) Put enough so it will cover the bananas, but never fill it more than halfway.


 * 1) Deep fry the bananas in batches for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown.


 * 1) Place the fried bananas on a piece of paper towel on a place to let the oil drain.


 * 1) To serve, place the bananas on a plate and pour some caramel sauce over top.
