Banana Appam (Banana Paniyaram)

Steps

1. Peel the bananas, cut into pieces, and mash with a fork until smooth with no lumps.
2. Add jaggery to the mashed banana and mix well until it melts completely.
3. Add wheat flour, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt.
4. Mix everything together into a thick, cake-batter-like consistency, adding more mashed banana or water if needed.
5. Heat oil for deep frying.
6. Wet your hand with water and drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil.
7. Fry on low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown.
8. Drain the appams on a kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
9. Serve warm, topped with fresh ghee.
