Ingredients

  • 2 Bananas peeled and cut into thick slices

For the batter:

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup corn flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 4-5 cardamom pods peeled and crushed
  • A pinch baking soda
  • A pinch salt

For deep frying:

  • 1 cup oil

For Rabdi:

  • 1 Liter milk
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 5 cashewnuts
  • 5 almonds
  • 5 pistas
  • Few strands saffron

Instructions

Let’s first make the rabdi ready.

  • Pour the milk in a deep heavy bottom pan and start boiling it on low heat. When the cream starts forming on the milk, stir and mix it in the milk. Occasionally (every 5 minutes) stir the milk in the pan. If the cream sticks to the sides, gently scrape it from the sides and mix it with the milk in pan.
  • You will need a deep bottomed pan because the milk must be boiled till it reduces to half of the original quantity.
  • When the boiling process is going on de-shell the pistachios. Slice the cashewnuts, almonds and pistas.
  • Microwave the pistas, cashewnuts and almonds slivers in 1/4 cup water for 30 seconds. Let it cool.
  • You can even soak the dry fruits in hot water for 15 minutes.
  • Soak the saffron strands in 2 tablespoon milk so that the saffron flavour gets infused in the milk.
  • Do not forget to stir the boiling milk every 4-5 minutes, while keeping the other ingredients ready.
  • Once the milk reduces to half the original quantity, mix sugar and stir.
  • Add the saffron infused milk to the boiling milk.
  • Now stir this continuously for another 10 minutes taking care that the milk does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Let the rabdi cool down.

While the rabdi is getting cooled, make the banana fritters ready.

  • Take a mixing bowl and add the both the flours. To this add water, little at a time to make a thick batter. Add baking powder, crushed cardamom powder and salt and mix well. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a kadai and add 1 cup oil to it.
  • When the oil gets heated, coat every banana slice with batter and gently drop it in the oil.
  • Deep fry it till it turns golden brown. Do this for all other banana slices.
  • Drain the banana fritters on a kitchen towel.
  • After the rabdi and banana fritters cool, take a serving bowl.
  • Add the banana fritters to it and pour the rabdi over. You can even add one banana fritter to a small serving bowl and top it with 2-3 tablespoon rabdi and serve it in smaller portions.
  • Serve chilled.
