Ingredients

  • 3 Paka Kola/ Ripe Banana depending on the size of the banana
  • 1 Cup Scrapped Coconut
  • 1 Cup Atta/ Whole-wheat Flour and some extra to make the consistency right
  • 2 Tbsp. Rice Flour
  • 1 Cup Gur/ Jaggery grated
  • ¼ Tsp. Salt
  • 150 ml Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Mash bananas using a masher or your hands. It is better to use over-ripe bananas to make bora.
  • Add scrapped coconut, whole wheat flour, rice flour and also salt to the lump-free banana mash.
  • Add Jaggery as well.
  • Mix to make a thick batter.
  • If the batter turns out to be slimy add some more wheat flour to adjust the consistency.
  • Heat oil in a pan.
  • Once properly heated, keep the flame on the lower side.
  • Now pour a dollop of the batter using a spoon or your fingers.
  • You can fry 5-6 fritters per batch depending on the size of the pan.
  • Fry the Bora from both sides until it is crisp and deep brown.
  • Strain from the oil and place over tissue paper to soak excess oil
  • Serve the Fritters in room temperature instead of hot as it consists of jaggery.
  • You may store the fritters in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Notes

  • You may use sugar instead of Jaggery.
  • I do not like to flavor the fritters with cardamom or other flavoring agents as I prefer the natural aroma of Banana and jaggery in my Kolar Bora. You may for sure add some cardamom powder if you wish to.
