1
Prepare the bananas
- Peel the bananas.
- Slice them into rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
2
Make the batter
- In a mixing bowl, combine the semolina (rava), rice flour, powdered sugar, cardamom powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
- Mix the dry ingredients well.
- Gradually add water while stirring continuously to form a thick, lump-free batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter, thick enough to coat the banana slices.
3
Coat the banana slices
- Dip each banana slice into the batter.
- Ensure each slice is evenly and completely coated on all sides.
4
Shallow fry the kaps
- Heat ghee or oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the batter-coated banana slices in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if needed.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crisp.
- Flip the slices and fry for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until they are evenly golden and crispy.
5
Drain and serve
- Remove the fried banana kaps from the pan using a slotted spoon.
- Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve immediately while they are hot and crisp.
