Had some extra Raw bananas leftover after Mahalaya daan. Overdone the Podimaas and roasted sabjis. This was a long pending one on my bucket list. So tried Kacche kele ke kebab the weekend. Super super super it turned out. And the recipe is simple too. Here we go...
KACCHE KELE (RAW BANANA) KE KEBAB
Ingredients :
2 raw bananas
1 -2 medium potatoes, boiled and peeled
2 Green chilies (medium), finely chopped
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1 inch piece Ginger
Salt to taste
1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
1 tsp Cumin seeds (Jeera)
1 tsp Black pepper powder (or Red chili powder)
1 tsp Garam masala (optional)
Bread crumbs or crushed Oats for coating
Oil to shallow fry
Note: You can also add methi leaves if you have and/or chopped Banana flowers
Method:
1. Pressure cook the bananas upto 1 whistle. De-skin and mash them
2. Add the boiled, peeled potatoes and mash them as well.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients (except oil) and mix well. Check for taste.
4. Heat oil for shallow frying on medium flame. Divide the kebab mixture into equal portions. Roll in bread crumbs. I personally prefer crushed oats. The texture is so good.
5. Drop the kebabs into the oil and let cook on low-medium flame till golden brown on both sides.
6. Remove and drain excess oil. Serve hot.
