Being a keralite and a perpetual snacker, i thought i should post one of my favourite snack items of the Kerala cuisine. It is none other than fritters made from yellow Kerala banana (known as Nedhra Pazham among Keralites).
This recipe is significantly different from the first recipe i posted. Traditionally banana fritters is made in Kerala by deep frying long strips of the ripe yellow Kerala bananas which are dipped in sweetened refined wheat flour (maida). I made it in a slightly different manner, the recipe for which i will be sharing today.
