Banana Paniyaram | Banana Sweet Bonda

It's a pleasure to let you all know that Good Food has crossed 1 lakh hits and I realized it today :). I would like to thank all my blogger friends and readers who drop at my space. I appreciate the feedbacks  from my blogger and non blogger friends through mails and comments after trying out my recipes. I am so happy that you take time to let me know the feedback. Thank you for your kind words about the healthy and simple recipes I share :)

Today's recipe is a common snack in most of our households. Whenever there are overripe bananas, our mothers and grandmothers used to quickly prepare this snack rt. These bondas are always deep fried, but I made them in paniyaram or aebleskiver pan with so much less oil. You can either use all purpose flour or wheat flour. These are really soft, yummy and they are so quick to prepare. Hope you guys try this guilt free version !

Many ask me what is a paniyaram pan whenever I put a paniyaram recipe...So I have put a click in the end, please take a look at it :)

You need...

3/4 cup Wheat flour

1 large ripe Banana

1/4 cup Sugar

1 tsp Cardamom powder

2 tbsp Coconut

1/4 tsp Baking powder

a pinch Salt

Water

To prepare...

Blend the banana, sugar and cardamom powder to form a puree.

Combine flour, salt, baking powder, coconut and banana puree.

Add water as required to form a thick batter with dropping consistency.

Heat a paniyaram or aebleskiver pan. Add few drops of oil in each hole.

Pour a small ladle of batter in each hole. Cover and cook for a minute or two until it gets brown.

Flip it and let it cook for another minute or so.
