How to Prepare

Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Add sugar, cardamom powder, grated coconut, and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, prepare the batter by mixing all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking soda, and water to form a thick, smooth batter.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat for deep frying.
Take small portions of the banana mixture, shape them into balls, and dip each ball into the batter to coat evenly.
Carefully drop the coated balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
Serve hot as a snack or dessert.
