Overripe banana Rotti

Banana Rotti

Whenever we have overripe bananas the first choice in any house of Udupi/Mangalore is buns. But if you want to utilize these bananas in a healthy way this recipe may help. It is a instant recipe, can be packed in the tiffin box as well and I am sure kids will love the crispy and soft, sweet rotti. I thought it is something new when I made this rotti and told my mom. But she said she already knows it 😁 The smell of banana and jaggery cooked on low flame is a bonus 🤗

Ingredients required-

  1. Over ripe banana- 5(small, i took devabale)
  2. Grated coconut- 1/4 cup
  3. Jaggery – small piece (can increase if required)
  4. Salt to taste
  5. Bombay rawa – 1 cup (may vary based on consistency)
  6. Oil – for frying

Method of preparation-

  • Remove the skin of the banana and mash them well.
  • Add salt, grated jaggery(or jaggery powder), grated coconut and mix well.
  • The mixture will release water and now add the rawa and mix very well.
  • Keep aside for sometime say 15min.
  • Heath the tawa, dip the hand in water and take a portion of the mixture.
  • Spread it on the tawa with wet hand, this will help in spreading it fast and doesn’t stick to hand.
  • Add oil and cook on low flame. This takes time to cook, about 10-15min per rotti.
  • Serve hot with butter or chutney

Note –

  • You can peel the skin of the overripe banana and freeze to use in this dosa
  • You can also add finely chopped green chilly and ginger pieces to this dosa.

Godi Surnali

Godi(sweet) Surnali

This dosa is liked by many because it is sweet and usually had hot with a dollop of butter on top. I like it for its rich yellow color and the porous texture. This is mostly prepared on the Uthana dwadashi which is also the day of Tulasi Pooja. My way of preparing this dosa is as below.

Ingredients required-

  1. Dosa rice – 1 cup
  2. Poha – 1/2 cup
  3. Jaggery – 1/3 cup
  4. Salt – 1/4 tsp
  5. Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
  6. Fenugreek seeds – 1/4tsp
  7. Oil – for frying

Method of preparation-

  • Soak the dosa rice for about 3-4hrs along with Fenugreek (methi) seeds
  • Wash and clean this and grind to a fine paste.
  • Now rinse the poha(i have used thin poha) and grind along with jaggery.
  • Mix everything and keep overnight for fermentation
  • Next morning add salt and turmeric powder and mix well.
  • Spread a thick layer of batter on a hot tawa and add oil .
  • Cook it on medium flame. Since it is a thick porous dosa we don’t flip it. It is cooked from one side only.

Also please refer this recipe for Kirlele Mooga Ghashi(sprouted moong ghashi) which is prepared on Tulsi Pooja day.
