Unnakkaya is a traditional sweet made of banana mostly in Malabar area during the Ramzan days. Both adults and kids love this snack very much.
Ingredients:
- Plantain : 2 nos
- Ghee : 1 tbsp
- Grated Coconut : 1 cup
- Cashews : 2 tbsp
- Raisins chopped : 2 tbsp
- Cardamom crushed : 2 nos
- Sugar : 2 tsps
- Oil for frying
Method:
- The banana should not be too ripe or too raw. Steam the banana with skin, cool it and peel the skin, make it halves and remove the black seeds inside it. Mash it well without any lumps. Make lemon sized balls out of it.
- Fry the cashew and raisins in ghee. Chop the cashews and raisins roughly. Mix the grated coconut, cashew and raisins together. Add crushed cardamom to it.
Take a ball flatten it and place one spoon of the coconut mixture on it roll it in an oval shape.
- Seal it properly otherwise the stuffing will come out while frying.
- It is a lovely evening snack...
