Pazham porichathu / Banana fritters




Requisites:-

Naadan Nenthrapazham/Long plantain-1 split into four lengthwise.


All purpose flour-1 cup
Water-1/4th cup
Egg-1
Sugar-1 tblpsn(optional) 
Turmeric-1pinch to give a yellow color
Salt to taste


Directions:-

  • Mix in all the ingredients except banana to form a thick batter. IF it appears loose add in more flour. Remove all lumps with your hands.
  • Now heat oil in a pan.
  • Test the temperature of the oil by dropping batter. If it sizzles and pop up the temperature is good enough to cook. But if it turns brown fast, then wait for sometime simmering the flame. 
  • Now dip the banana slice in batter to form a thick coating and slide them into the hot oil. Use your hands or a spoon.
  • When the banana turns golden brown remove from heat.
  • Serve hot with Chai on evening times.
  • If you like a spicy coating avoid sugar and add cumin seeds with chilly flakes.
BON APPETITE:)
