coconut and sugar.
Ingredients:
Ripe bananas (medium size) - 4;
Grated coconut - 1 cup
Sugar - 3 dsp
Ghee - 1 dsp
Rice flour - 1/2 cup
Flour - 1/4 cup
Salt water - 1/2 tsp
Soda bi-carb - 1 pinch
Dalda or coconut oil for frying
Method:
Boil bananas, peel and remove middle
cord. Cut into pieces and take 2 cups full.
Put the bananas, two dsp, sugar, quarter
cup grated coconut and one spoon ghee, in a pan and place on fire.
Stir well for sometime till it is dry.
Sift together the rice flour and the flour through a fine sieve and keep
in a bowl.
Add half cup water to the remaining
coconut and take one extraction. Strain and add it to the remaining
coconut and take one extraction.
Strain and add it to the flour with one
dsp. Sugar and salt. Make a thick batter.
Add only very little bicarbonate of soda,
otherwise the batter will absorb a lot of oil.
If the batter is too thick, add a little
more water. The banana mixture when cold, should be formed into lime sized
balls.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan, and when
it boils, dip each banana ball in the batter and deep fry golden brown.
