Banana Flambe

A visit to tharagambadi (tranquebar) in Nagapattanam district of chennai is where i was treated to this awesome dish called Banana flambe, it actually is not a dish but a dessert which we had called after eating a heavy mix meal of Masala Dossa, Mutton Curry and chappati. After downing the heavy stuff we thought of bringing in some desserts and since a day before we had the usual caramel custard we experimented with it.
The attendant did recommend it to us the previous day also but we were conservative. However, left with only icecreams for desserts we did order it. The dish when served was on flames it had two bannana pieces, soaked in rum and hard sugar on it and the chef had put the bannanas on fire.
The site of the dish was awwww immediately me and my wife were like how do we eat this. The flame kept on burning and it did not seem it would douse. As we moved the bannana piece the flame spread in the plate as it does on the gas when lot of air is there. Thoughts passed our mind that is this the correct dish. Leaving it behind we somehow managed to douse the flame and slowly cut the bannana piece and soaked it in rum and wow the best dessert was in our mouth. The rum and the hard sugar did the trick for the bannana flambe and we were superbly thrill with the dish.
After finnishing the bannana we drank the rum in spoons quiet an unheard way of drinking but we managed it.
