Since this is a hurried post ....will put up a snap later ...when I get to make them again


Need : 2 cups maida, 1/4 cup milk,1/2 cup water,1 mashed ripe banana,2 tbsp sugar for the batter, 2 cups sugar for the syrup, elaichi / cardamom (crushed) , half crushed saunf / fennel seeds, oil / ghee to fry.

How to : Mix maida,water, a little sugar,saunf and the mashed bananas. Add milk to make a thick batter.

Heat oil or ghee in a heavy bottomed flat pan.
Ladle out a big spoonful of batter in a round shape. Deep fry till golden brown and crisp.

Take it out and dip into sugar syrup.Keep for some time and then remove from sugar syrup else they will soak too much and turn soggy.

Sugar syrup : Heat 2 cups of water and 2 cups sugar in a kadai / deep vessel.
Bring to a boil.
Add safron / elaichi powder ...whichever preffered.
Boil well till the syrup loses its watery look and starts getting a little thicker.
