Pazham pori, also referred to as ethakka appam, is a favourite tea-time snack from Kerala that many people adore. It’s made by taking ripe nendran bananas, coating them in a light flour batter, and deep-frying them until they’re perfectly golden. The result is a delightful mix of a crunchy exterior and a tender, sweet interior. Enjoying pazham pori with a hot cup of chai is truly a comforting experience that evokes a sense of nostalgia.

    Crunchy & Delicious Navratri Bhel With Leftover Snacks

    Farsan is a term originating from Gujarat, India, that broadly refers to fried, savory snacks. Bhel is a popular Indian street food, usually made with a base of puffed rice. If you have Farsan lying at home, from sev and chakli to chevda and namkeen, then transform them into crunchy Navratri bhel in minutes. If you’re still fasting, you can use roasted makhanas as a base instead. And if you’re not fasting, you can add onions to the mix, too. This Navratri bhel from leftover snacks is easy to put together, highly customisable, and delightfully crunchy.

Step 2: Prepare the batter

  • In a mixing bowl, toss together the all-purpose flour (maida), rice flour, turmeric powder, cardamom powder, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 3: Heat the oil

Pour some oil into a deep pan and warm it up over medium heat until it’s hot enough for frying.

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Fry the bananas

  • Take each banana slice and dip it into the batter, making sure it’s well-coated. 

  • Carefully slide them into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden and crispy on both sides.
