Preparation

• In a pan, mix jaggery and water and boil till the jaggery melts and filter to remove impurities if any. Keep aside.
  
  In a separate pan, mash the bananas; start adding all the ingredients except jaggery syrup and water.
  
  Pour filtered jaggery syrup over the flour and banana mixture to prepare a batter (the batter should be in semi thick consistency like dosa batter).
  
  Add water if necessary. Heat the kuzhipaniyaram pan; add 1 to 2 tsp oil or ghee into each hole.
• Pour the batter in each hole and allow to cook in the medium flame. Turn on the otherside using a tooth pick or a stick. Allow to cook till both sides turn golden brown colour. Serve hot.
  
  Note:
  
  If you don’t have kuzhipaniyaram pan just deep fry.
  
  Heat oil in a pan, drop spoonfuls of batter in the oil and fry till it gets golden brown and crisp (cook this in medium flame).
  
  Remove from oil and place on a tissue to drain out the excess oil. Serve hot.
