How to make Kacha Kela Ka Pakora

1. Take 2 raw banana / green banana / kach kela and 1 small potato, cut both the vegetables into half pieces and boil it in the micro- oven for 8 mins, remove the skin of potato and banana and mash (do not mash too much) them. Keep aside.

2. In a bowl put 1 medium size chopped onion, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 2-3 chopped green chili, 1 teaspoon of roasted cumin powder, 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (posto), salt to taste, chopped coriander leaves and mashed potato and banana (step 1). Mix well.

3. Make round shape balls with the mixture (step 2), flatten them a little and keep aside.

4. Take a non-stick frying pan put only 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and fry 5-6 round shape pakora till both the sides become brown in color, if the oil absorbes do not add more oil  because this pakora is primarily cooked in a roasted method.

5. Repeat the process for another 4-5 pakora.
