Pazham Pori otherwise nicknamed Ethakka Appam is an all-time favorite and a traditional snack of Malayalee population. These banana fritters are prepared from a variety of plantain named Nendrapazham. Ripe banana slices are dipped in a sweetened maida batter and deep fried to a golden brown colour. Rich in potassium and vitamins, Pazham Pori makes a perfect snack for evenings and is available almost everywhere.
This snack is very easy to prepare at home with very minimal ingredients. Mix together required maida flour, turmeric, sugar, cumin and water to prepare a thick running batter. Thin banana slices are dipped in the batter and deep fried in hot boiling oil. Relishing Pazham Pori over a cup of piping hot tea is a pleasure.
When u make batter add one eggwhite and a pinch of baking powder.Then it will be crispy and wont take much oil.U can cut the bananas in round shapes to save time..
This turned out to be very nice and got compliments from hubby too. I added a little rice flour and ghee to this recipe and it was just superb. Thanks for sharing !
pls add karijeerakam .it will be good.
While serving,place a small bowl with milkmaid to dip…. It tastes even yummier
i usually add some powdered cardamom to the batter, to add to the flavor.
I Tried it with little ghee,it tastes really good.

Add 1 spoon of rice flour and 1/2 tea spoon ghee to the batter to make more cryspy.i tried this to make the maida batter thick but it came more tasty.
