Notes

1. Banana tends to get black color easily so it is advisable to soak the banana in water or in buttermilk to retain the white color.

2. When adding water to the banana add little water so that the banana gets cooked nicely. Do not Add more water to the bananas because the banana might over cooked and it might break.

3. Instead of rice flour some people add gram flour. So you can try adding any of these flours.

4. If you want more spicy, you can add 1/2 tsp of pepper powder.
