My Mother in Law’s recipe - Pazham Gunddu/Plantain fritters





Last week when I went to India for my short vacation!!! My Mother in law made this Pazham fritters/ Gunddu for me, it was so tasty, she used over ripe “pazhaynkodam pazham” for this recipe!!


Ingredients

1) Maida – 1 cup.
2) Over ripe Pazhayankodam pazham- ½ kg (Mashed).
3) Jaggery- 1 block (More or less as to taste.)
4) Cardamom- powdered- 4-5 nos.
5) Salt – A pinch.
6) Baking powder– 2 pinches
7) Oil to fry

Melt jaggery with little water and make thick syrup out of it. Then take a mixing bowl, add Maida, mashed banana, cardamom powder, salt, baking powder, jaggery syrup and mix well to form a thick batter, Let the batter sit for an hour.

Heat oil in a pan, when the oil is hot takes small portions from the dough and put in to the oil. Cook until both sides are golden brown in color. Remove and drain it to a tissue paper. Serve hot.
