Ingredients

  • 3 small raw banana
  • 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Rock salt to taste
  • 1-2 teaspoon ghee

Instructions

  • Wash the raw banana. Pat dry, trim the edges and place them in a container. add water to the pressure cooker, transfer the container with raw banana into it. Pressure cook the banana for 2 whistles.
  • While the bananas are getting cooked, roast the peanuts, de-skin them. (I keep roasted peanuts ready at hand in my pantry so used them directly). Add roasted peanuts and cumin seeds to a grinder jar and pulse to get a coarse powder. Do not make a very fine paste.
  • Peel the cooked and cooled down banana using a knife. Mash the raw banana using a fork in a mixing bowl. Add crushed peanut cumin, black pepper powder, salt, coriander leaves and lemon juice.
  • Mix everything very well.
  • Pinch out portion of the mix and make round or oblong shaped cutlets.
  • Spread sesame seeds on a plate, tap the prepared cutlets over the sesame seeds and apply slight pressure so that the seeds coat the cutlet well.
  • Heat a greased skillet and add the cutlets on it.
  • Cook the cutlets on low to medium heat from both the sides until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with dip of your choice.
