Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 medium Bananas ripened
  • 1 cup Maida / Wheat Flour
  • 2 tablespoon Rice flour
  • ¼ teaspoon Cardamom Powder
  • 2 tablespoon Jaggery Powder adjust to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon Salt
  • 15 Cashews roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Ghee for cooking
  • 1 & ¼ cup Milk adjust as needed

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
  • Add maida (or wheat flour), rice flour, cardamom powder, jaggery powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all dry ingredients with the bananas.
  • Gradually add milk little by little, stirring as you go to form a pourable batter. The batter should be slightly thicker than regular dosa batter but not too thick. Should be in pourable consistency.
  • Stir in the chopped cashew nuts for a crunchy bite in every dosa.
  • Place a non-stick tawa or flat griddle on medium heat and let it warm up. Add a little ghee and spread it evenly.
  • Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan.
  • Drizzle a little ghee around the edges to make it crisp. Cook on medium heat until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown.
  • Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
  • Remove from the pan and stack on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve these instant banana dosas with your choice of chutney , sauce or jam. You can drizzle some honey or maple syrup on top as well.

Notes

You can add regular sugar, brown sugar or maple syrup in place of jaggery powder.
