Banana Fritters commonly known as Pazham pori in kerala, for the very first time I had it in one of my Keralite friend’s house, I loved the taste. Got to know the recipe, but never tired it. After coming to Bangalore, my kids use to have this from a nearby shop, so thought of preparing it myself at home. The fritter came out well with it’s crispiness outside and soft inside.
I have used well ripen banana, but actually you need to use 80 % ripen banana, that to Red Banana what we call Netharam Palam, this fritter would more delicious than the regular one. A perfect tea-time snack for kids. Let us move on to the recipe…

Wow yumm
I like this snack. I’ve tasted it in Kerala, but not much in TN. Once, it was served in a jackfruit fest. Yes, they used jackfruit to make a similar delicacy. You can also try it…
Thanks Lot, glad that you liked it. Sure will try it with Jack fruit. Stay connected 🙂
