Raw banana skin pakora
Raw banana skin pakora, yes! You heard it right. Raw banana skin is edible? We usually discard it but we can make stir fry or fritters like this.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 Raw banana's peel Plaintain (Unripe banana)
- ¼ cup Gram flour
- 2 tablespoon Rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- Salt
- Water - as needed
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Slice the skin of the plantain as shown in the picture.
- Keep immersed in water and wash properly.
- Again wash it in the water that has been drained by washing the rice you are cooking. (if not, wash again in ordinary water) That second time washing will remove the stickiness of the skin.
- Cut into small pieces.
- Add the flours and other ingredients except oil and mix well to coat the skins. (I used bajji mix available at stores)
- Heat enough oil to deep fry. Once hot, add the coated skin in sprinkled way, away from each other.
- Fry till golden brown. This will be soft inside and crispy outside. Drain over paper towel.
