  • Hing
  • Baking soda
  • Besan
  • Rice flour

Instructions

  • Making Batter: Rinse and then peel the bananas. Chop them into two to three equal pieces, horizontally. Then take each piece and slice in 3 to 4 pieces vertically. Put the slices in water so that they do not get discoloured. Each slice should be of approximate 4 to 4.5 inches in height and ¼ inch in thickness. Prepare the batter: by mixing besan, rice flour, baking soda, salt, red chilli powder, asafoetida and turmeric powder. Add little water in parts and mix. We need a thick batter. So avoid adding water once, as the batter may become thin. Mix to a thick batter without lumps. Frying Banana Bajji Now pat dry the raw banana slices on a kitchen towel. Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Dip the banana slices in the batter and coat the banana slices completely with the batter. Add the batter coated slices in the hot oil and fry the plaintain pakoras till golden brown. Drain the fried plaintain pakoras on kitchen tissues to remove excess oil. Serve banana bajji hot with green chutney or coconut chutney or tomato ketchup.
