10 ripe saba or cardaba bananas, thinly sliced
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup ripe jackfruit thinly sliced
large spring roll wrapper
some oil for frying

Preparation

1 Prepare banana slices and spring roll wrapper 2 In a bowl, combine sugar, butter and cinnamon. 3 Mix until they turn into crumbs.( like crumbs for top of apple muffin) 4 Then roll banana slices into the crumbs.Make sure they are coated with crumbs.The more, the greatest!..yum yum.. just make additional crumbs if you need more. 5 Now,lay spring roll wrapper and on top,arrange coated slices banana.Add some jackfruit slices and roll over and now you have a log like roll. 6 Repeat the process.Fry in hot oil , 2 or 3 at a time. 7 Drain excess oil.Use strainer or colander.Serve hot 8 Note: The usual way back home : after the bananas are rolled,this log like Turon will again be rolled in brown sugar before frying. Just be careful with your temperature. You might end up having overcooked Banana Turon outside but the inside still not done.

About


Yes, here they are...golden brown in color, crispy outside, soft  and sweet inside..the aroma of butter, sugar and cinnamon is really inviting. I miss the good old days...I wish I can drink coffee instead of Milk tea with my Banana Turon.
