Recipe Source - Pazham Pappadam Payasam
1. Ripe banana / Pazutha ethapazham - 2 large (Use only ethapazham/nenthrapzham. Other varieties are not suitable for this recipe)
2. Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - 2 pinches
Sugar - 1 tsp (Optional)
Plain bread crumbs - 1/4 - 1/2 cup ( I didn’t have it so I used Italian bread crumbs)
Milk - 2 - 3 tbsp
3. Ghee/ butter - 2 tbsp or as required to shallow-fry
Method
Steam cook the ripe bananas with skin on. Peel off the skin and mash well. Add ingredients numbered 2 and mix well with your fingers. Roll into medium-sized balls and flatten like cutlets. Dip in milk and then roll in bread crumbs. Heat ghee/butter in a pan. Shallow-fry the cutlets until golden on both sides.
