Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 small bananas ripe or 1 large
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour + more as required
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Mash the bananas well. Add the soda, sugar, salt and yogurt and mix using your hands till the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the flour, 1/4 cup at a time and keep mixing till you are able to get a non-sticky dough. You may need to add 2 tbsp to 1/4 cup of extra flour, to get the consistency of chapathi or puri dough. Knead well till done. Rest for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
- Divide into 10-12 equal balls. Spread little oil on the kitchen top and spread the dough into a thick round. The bailing -should be thick and not too thin.
- Fry both the sides till golden brown and puffed up. Drain on a kitchen towel. Eat as is or with some coriander chutney.
Notes
The amount of flour added will solely depend on the size of the banana used. Keep adding flour by tablespoons once you exhaust the 1 1/2 cups, since nothing else is added to make the dough.
