Prepare the Bananas: Wash the raw bananas thoroughly. Trim both ends. Peel the thick green skin using a peeler or a knife. Slice them into uniform roundels, about 1/4-inch thick. Immediately place the slices in a bowl of cold water to prevent oxidation and browning. Let them soak for 5-10 minutes.
Prepare the Coating: In a wide, shallow plate or tray, combine the fine rava, rice flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, hing, and salt. Mix with your fingers or a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Coat the Banana Slices: Drain the water from the banana slices completely and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Take one slice at a time and press it firmly into the rava-spice mixture. Ensure it is evenly coated on both sides and the edges. Shake off any excess coating and set aside on a plate.
Shallow Fry the Phodis: Heat the coconut oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan or tawa over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a pinch of the coating mixture; it should sizzle immediately. Carefully arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Cook Until Crispy: Fry for 3-4 minutes on the first side until it turns golden brown and crisp. Gently flip each slice using a spatula and fry for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until it is cooked through and has a beautiful crispy crust.
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the Kelya Phodi from the pan and place them on a wire rack or a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
