directions
Seperate the spring roll pastry sheets and place them under a damp cloth. Put the water in a little bowl and squeeze the lime/lemon juice into a plate.
Peel one banana, coat with a little lime/lemon juice. Place on a single pastry sheet (accross one of the corners) then start rolling the pastry tightly, folding in the edges as you go along to form a uniform spring roll. Seal the last tip with a little water. Repeat with the other bananas and store in the refrigerator until needed.
When ready to serve. Heat enough oil in a pan to deep fry the spring rolls. Heat the sauce ingredients in a pan over low heat and stir until thickened (about 5-8minutes). When the oil is ready, deep fry the spring rolls till golden crispy.
Cut each spring roll in half (at an angle), place on a place and drizzle the warm sauce over it. Serve.
chef's notes
Even people who intensly dislike bananas or cooked bananas will like this... it has happened more than once :-)
Be careful with the sauce and the bananas, both of these hold heat very well.. best to let the spring rolls sit for a few minutes before serving them.
The coconut milk doesnt have to be included if you dont have any.

For a feast like this, consider the following dishes as commpaniments to the salad and curry: Tom Yum soup, Rare beef , Yellow coconut curry with pork and green banana, Spicy red duck curry with pineapple, Prawns with citurs and chilli, and stir-fried chicken with basil and chilli.

There are two essential side dishes that will make your Thai food extrodinary
1. A plate of fresh vegetables like cucumber, leafy vegetables, tomatoes, green beans etc, roughly chopped or whole so it can be taken with the hand - compliments the passionate flavours of the Thai food.
2. Prik Nam Bplaa - 3 chillies sliced into rings, 3 cloves of garlic sliced thinly, 1 shallot sliced into thin rings, 1/2 lime sliced into slivers and quatered.
