Banana and Rajgira Puri, Upvaas Recipe recipe - How to make Banana and Rajgira Puri, Upvaas Recipe

1/4 cup mashed banana
3/4 cup rajgira flour
1 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/4 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder

Method

Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a stiff dough, without using any water.
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions.
Grease your palms with little oil, take one portion of the dough, roll it between your palms into a round and flatten it lightly to form a 75 mm. (3”) diameter circle using your fingertips.
Repeat step 3 to make 9 more puris.
Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, and deep-fry 2 puris at a time, on a slow flame till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
Serve immediately.
