Banana pakoda recipe - Ripe banana pakora is a deep fried snack made with banana and rice rava, popular in Coastal Karnataka. It is a delicious snack with slightly sweet taste. This pakoda is usually fried in ghee but it can also be fried in oil. Earlier I had posted raw banana pakoda  which is a perfect tea time snack. This bale hannina pakoda is crunchy from our side and soft  from inside. It was aromatic and tasty.
