Kela Na Sambhariya (Spicy sliced bananas) from Gujarat Nu Jaman

Ingredients:

6 bananas

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp red chili powder

1 1/2 tsp cumin/coriander powder (I just mix the two)

1 cup Bengal gram flour (I use less of this and more of the spices, so the flavor is more intense)

2 tsp sugar (I use much less, since the bananas are already sweet)

4 green chillies (serranos), chopped

1/2 cup oil

Method:

1. Cut off the bottom & top of the bananas and cut into fours, then put a slit in each part

2. Mix together the spices & the gram flour, and add the green chillis

3. Heat the oil enough to cover the bottom of the pan, and put the bananas in in a single layer. Cover the pot with a lid, and put water on it if the bananas are sticking. I use medium heat for this step.

4. Flip the bananas over after about 5 minutes (till the skins get soft and look darker). When both sides are done, serve!
