Unnakkai
Posted On 18-Sep-2007 at 12:23 PM by Seena
Ingredients
Bananas (ripe) 3 medium
Coconut grated 3 table spoons
Cashew nuts few
Raisins few
Ghee 2 tsp
Cardamom powder ¼ tsp
Sugar 1 table spoon
Oil for frying
Cook banana in little water or steam cook it. Let it cool. Peel, remove black seeds. Mash it very well .
Heat ghee, fry cashew nuts and raisins. Add coconut, cardamom powder and sugar. Stir for a while. Remove from fire.
Apply little oil on palms. Take a little from the mashed banana and make a ball. Press between palms. Put 2 teaspoons of the above ghee fried preparation in this.(It depends on the amount of banana you take). Close it by joining edges. Roll in the shape of unnakkai with hands. Deep fry in oil. You can fry them after you shaped all the unnaikkais. Don’t choose over ripe bananas for this.
Unnakkai dipped in a sweetened thick solution prepared, by mixing and boiling little rice powder with milk. It is just like paayasam.
Some scrambles egg with sugar in ghee. For that use one egg, and break it in to the heated ghee. Stir till the egg is cooked add sugar and remove from fire.Keep this mixture inside the mashed banana balls.
