Grilled Bananas with Sweet Coconut Milk Dipping (กล้วยปิ้งน้ำกะทิ)

Jump to Recipe

Bananas are a tropical fruit that grows in every region of Thailand and is inexpensive.  People love bananas and have them in their kitchen to eat it fresh or make recipes out of them.  I might be one of the very few people who don't like to eat a fresh banana due to its texture, but I love bananas when they are cooked for example fried bananas, bananas in sweet coconut milk, or grilled bananas coconut dipping!  Grilled bananas with sweet coconut milk dipping is an old and traditional Thai street food.  There are two styles of grilled bananas that you can find.  The first one is they grill whole bananas and sell them with the sweet coconut milk dipping on the side or they cut the bananas into about ½ inch then grill them and flatten them and pour the sweet coconut milk over the bananas.

Make a simple fruit to something tastier and fancier

Serving fresh bananas to your guests sounds like a "no-no" thing; it makes you look cheap and your guests probably feel like you do not prepare yourself for their appearance.  Grilled bananas with sweet coconut milk dipping are one of the genius methods to make a simple and inexpensive fruit more presentable on a table when you have guests at home.  You can simply change the plain bananas into gourmet dessert with this recipe that I about to share with you.

To make Grilled Bananas with Sweet Coconut Milk Dipping 

It is very easy and effortless to make this recipe.  To make it, you need a grill.  You can electric grill or stovetop grill or a charcoal grill to grill the bananas.  For this recipe, I use a George Foreman electric grill, and I set it up to the high heat.  I cut the bananas into ½ inch and grill them both sides (5 minutes on each). While I am doing that I also prepare the dipping.  The dipping requires only 4 ingredients including coconut cream, olive oil butter, Stevia, and salt.  Combine all the ingredients into a small pot and cook them in medium-low heat, stir the sauce occasionally so it won't burn.  When the bananas are ready, use a rolling pin to flatten them and they are ready to be served!
