Cooking steps for Banana Bonda
- 1Banana Bonda—the sweet, golden bites of heaven you didn't know you needed in your snack rotation!
- 2This banana bonda recipe brings together the tropical goodness of ripe bananas, the caramelized sweetness of jaggery, and a hint of spice to create a treat that's crispy on the outside and oh-so-soft inside.
- 3Start with 2 ripe bananas (baby bananas work best for that extra sweetness and flavor), and mash them up until they're nice and smooth—like a banana hug in a bowl.
- 4Meanwhile, in a small pan, melt ¾ cup of jaggery or light brown sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of water over low heat until it forms a thick, syrupy consistency.
- 5Toss in ¼ cup of grated coconut (or finely sliced coconut pieces, if you're feeling fancy) for a burst of texture.
- 6Add a tablespoon of ghee to the mix for that irresistible aroma, then pour this caramelized goodness into your mashed bananas.
- 7Stir it up until everything is beautifully combined.
- 8Now, let's get the batter going.
- 9In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- 10For that warm, aromatic twist, add 8-10 ground green cardamom pods and ¼ teaspoon of ground cumin.
- 11Gradually add ¼ cup of warm water while stirring to form a thick, smooth batter that's ready to coat your banana filling.
- 12Roll your banana-jaggery-coconut mixture into small balls—this is where the magic begins.
- 13Dip each ball into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated in a thick, fluffy layer.
- 14Heat coconut or vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking.
- 15Gently drop the battered banana balls into the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- 16Cook until they're golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even browning.
- 17Once they're done, scoop them out onto a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- 18Serve these banana bondas warm with a cup of chai or coffee for the ultimate indulgence. Each bite is a perfect blend of crispy, gooey, sweet, and spiced flavors that'll have you hooked.
- 19This recipe of banana bonda is the ultimate tea-time treat or a quick snack to wow your friends and family. Trust me, these golden bites are pure bliss in every sense!
