Banana Fritters Aka Pazhampori


The name itself makes ever keralites mouth water. Bananas are abudantly available in kerala. In most of the keralite households I have seen that bananas are eaten after a meal. But 'A' and I don't enjoy to eat it raw. But if it's given as fritters , then we won't be having a count of how much we are eating. Each time 'A' visits home , amma used to make it. He called me from office and asked me to make it. Luckily I found plantains in the Indian store. Now I know what should I do to make him come home early from office :-) .

Recipe Source : My Own


Ingredients:

In The Mix

Large ripe plantains - 3

All purpose flour – 1/2 cup

Milk – 1/2 cup

Water – 1/2 cup

Salt to taste

Sugar – 4 tsp (Depend upon your sugar needs)

Oil – Enough so the banana pieces are half submerged in it when frying



Method:

Peel and cut the plantains in half and then each half into three pieces.

Mix all of the above except the oil together with a whisk. The amount of ingredients can be adjusted according to your taste buds.Dip the cut plantains into the prepared mix.

Heat oil in a pan and when hot enough, add the dipped plantains one by one. Fry on each side for 1 min or so and drain on paper towels. Enjoy !!!
