“I am a specialist in Oriental food. I love promoting how easy Thai food can be with sustainability in mind. I launched www.thaifoodmadeeasy.com in late 2017. My background in marketing started when I graduated in Thailand and worked for some big companies i.e. Toyota, Samsung, Pantene, and Sony, etc. I decided to travel the world learning about many cuisines and cultures. I worked in Miami, the Caribbean, and Asia pacific, finally deciding to turn my passion of food into ‘a small business that does well’
Marni’s focus is on how to cook and eat healthily, sustainably and affordably, using own-grown and local, seasonal produce. We are delighted that Marni has provided us with the following delicious Thai recipe
Pineapple Fritter
Serve: 2
Ingredients:
- 4 slices pineapple
- 50g self raising flour
- 5g caster sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream (optional)
- 150ml vegetable oil
- 100ml cold soda water
- 1 pinch desiccated coconut
Method:
- Heat the oil to medium to high heat in a small saucepan or deep frying pan.
- Lay the pineapple slices on a kitchen towel to absorb the excess liquid.
- Put the self-raising flour, caster sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, cold soda water in a mixing bowl. Use a handheld whisker to whisk the batter until it’s smooth. Do not over whisk.
- Drop a pineapple slice in the batter. Transfer and fry each side until it turns crispy and golden brown in colour. Place it on a kitchen towel to absorb the access oil. Repeat the same process with the rest of the pineapple.
- Lay the pineapple fritter on a lovely plate. Sprinkle with desiccated coconut and ice cream of your choice or yogurt, or just a dollop of honey.
Tip:
For light and crispy batter, make sure you use super cold soda water. I used the pineapple slice from the can or make sure you use the fresh ripened pineapple.
