If one were to take banana bread batter and fry it, that would be a close cousin to Unyappum. It is a slightly sweet fried dumpling that works great as a snack with coffee or tea.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar cane, slivered
1 banana, peeled & chopped
1 Tbsp ghee/butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 tsp ground cardemom (3-4 whole)
1 cup water
1/4 cup oil for frying
1. Remove green casing from cardemoms by lightly crushing them with a mortar and pestel; then grind the inner black part into a course powder. Set aside.
2. Blend sugar cane and banana with mixer until smooth. Add flour, ghee, baking soda, salt, and water; mix until smooth. Stir in cardemom. Let stand for 30 minutes.
3. Heat oil in small fry pan; add generous Tbsp-fuls of banana mixture to hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Drain on paper towels to cool. Enjoy!
