FRIED PAPAYA
This is an African inspired recipe by chef Keith Famie. This batter could also work for firm bananas. Not exactly a healthy dessert, but it is a treat. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Fill a saucepan 2 inches deep with vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
- Dusting Mixture:.
- Combine the cinnamon, cardamom and sugar and set aside.
- Batter:.
- Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients with a whisk to form a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites to form stiff peaks. Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter. Be careful to not overmix the batter and deflate the whites.
- Pawpaw:.
- Season the papaya chunks with the cardamom. Dip each chunk of papaya into the batter and then deep fry in the vegetable oil, a few pieces at a time, until crisp and golden. Put the fried pawpaws on paper towels to drain. Dust them with the cinnamon sugar mix immediately.
- Serve the fried pawpaw chunks with vanilla ice cream.
