Jawadhib al-Mauz

Posted on 03/21/202203/24/2022 by Murienne

Arabic fried banana receipe.

Take bananas that are fully ripe. Peel them and immerse them in a fine samid [semolina] dough, as for pan cakes. Then take them up and leave on something woven. Boil sesame oil, fry the bananas, take them out and throw them in syrup. Take them up and throw them in pounded sugar, then arrange them in a tray with thin flat bread above and below. Hang fat chicken above it. – Familiar Foods, p. 411, “Medieval Arab Cookery”

My Version

I only used the first part of this recipe. I wanted something a bit different so I decides to make the fried bananas. 

I peeled bananas and cut them into chunks about 2-3 inches long. Make a batter with semolina flour, eggs, wheat flour and water. Dunk the bananas in batter and fry them in sesame oil. I skipped putting them in syrup and instead dusted them with powdered sugar.
