bitter-sweet chocolate and fresh mangoes

On a clean plate or tray roll the banana and sliced mangoes into the brown sugar. Wrap them in a spring roll’s wrapper, seal with the white egg. Repeat this sequence until all of the ingredients rolled in the wrappers.

Meanwhile, prepare oil in a fryer to cook the banana. Cook them until golden brown and take out from the fryer. The fried turon will be much better when served with vanilla ice cream. Makes 10 pieces of turons

Helpful Hints

The original recipe is using banana saba and fresh jackfruit. If you like to have some sesame seeds is also good.

The fresh made turon taste much better.

To serve turon with some ice cream or caramel sauce is a compliment

Soaked the dried date and clean up the skin. And roughly cut the date. In a clean bowl, combine the ingredients and soak it, and keep in the fridge to allow the kushef cooling and taste nice. Make about 3.5 liters
