GULGULLA (The odia delicacy)

We odia's very famous for consuming sweet dishes , sweet rice, sweet Curry's sweet chutneys and sweet pakodas .
We love almost all sweet dishes.
Here is our another traditional recipe which very much favorite of kids is known as "Gulgulla". A sweet pakoda.

We usually love ripe bananas.
But after 2 -3 days we never eat those bananas which skins is black in colour and extra ripen it not look good but in taste it is very sweet and smell is also very strong.
Don't throw these leftover banana .
You may use leftover bananas or you can use fresh banana as well.
The taste is more when its more ripen.
Gulgulla tastes best when it fried in desi ghee only. You may also use oil.
Banana is optional as many people don’t like the flavor banana. You can skip this and make without bananas.
We used to combine sweet with spicy so Gulgulla we serve with channa tarkari.
For evening snacks with a cup of tea its so relaxing .

Ingredients:

1 Cup Whole wheat flour
1 ½ Cup Jeggary grated
1 tbsp Cardamom powder
1 tsp Fennel seeds
Salt
Desi ghee for deep frying

In a large bowl, peel and mash bananas until smooth use your hand for mash bananas.
Add jaggery , salt , cardamom powder ,fennel seeds mix well add flour mix properly do not leave any lumps , cover and set aside.

Heat a deep frying pan with enough oil to fry gulgulla.
Take 1 bowl of water keep near to batter
Take a tablespoon dip in water and then take 1 tablespoon of batter and drop tablespoon size thick batter into the ghee and fry it on medium to low flame turning it continuously for 3-4 minutes or until it becomes brown evenly .
Don’t fry it on high flame as it will become brown very fast and from inside it will remain sticky .

Remove it from ghee and keep it on tissue papers to remove extra oil.
Enjoy this with channa tarkari.
