  • 1 pinch baking powder
  • 1 pinch cardamom powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients from flour to salt into a bowl and mix well. Add water only if needed, because the bananas will facilitate the binding.

  • Drop spoonfuls of the batter and fry on medium heat till the fritters are browned.
  • Savour warm with a cup of chai!
