Ingredients

1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
2 Bananas (Raw / Green Plantains / Kachhe Kele)
1/2 cup Kuttu Atta or Buckwheat Flour
1/2 teaspoon Pepper Powder
1 Green Chilli, finely chopped
1/4 cup coriander, chopped
Rock Salt to taste (or Sendha Namak)

Method

* Cut each plantain in half and pressure cook or boil till the plantains are cooked through. I pressure cooked them for 3 whistles or about 15 minutes.

* Peel the plantains, and add them to a bowl along with kuttu atta (buckwheat flour), ground black pepper powder, green chillies, coriander and sendha namak (rock salt). Mash the plantains and mix well with the ingredients.

* Form the kebab mixture into flat, round balls about one and a half inch in diameter and set aside.

* Heat oil in a non stick skillet, and add the kebabs one by one, making sure they don’t overlap. Cook each kebab for 8-10 minutes on each side till they are golden brown. I cooked these in two batches.

* Serve these kachhe kele ke kebabs with coriander chutney.
