Kayappam

Kayappam is actually a sweet bonda. This is a very easy snack recipe famous in kerala.
This week for BM I have selected One-Bite Appetizers and I felt this would be the apt one to start with.

The main ingredient of this snack is the famous nenthram pazham plantain variety of banana. But guess this snack can also be made with ordinary yellow bananas



Ingredients:

Banana             4 nos peeled;
Cardamom       2 no.;
Maida               3 tbsp
Sugar                2 tbsp
Salt                   one pinch;
Water                as needed;
Oil                    for frying


Method:

  • Grind banana with cardamom, sugar and salt.
  • Make in to a fine paste using a mixer. 
  • Optionally we can smash banana with hand as well, but a mixer would give a fine paste, which helps in preparing very soft bonda. 
  • Add maida to the above paste and mix well with hand, making sure that the mixture is thick. If needed add little water.
  • Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is boiling hot, drop a small quantity of the above mixture with your hands. 
  • Deep fry until the color turns brown. Take out once cooked and keep it aside until the oil is drained.Your banana bonda - kayappam is ready to serve !!
