Steps

30 mins

1

Steam banana until it's well cooked, remove the outer skin, and grind it into a smooth dough. Keep this aside.
2

Heat ghee in a pan, add cashew and raisins. Saute till the cashew becomes lightly golden, and raisins puff up.
3

Add grated coconut, and saute for a couple of minutes. Now add the cardamom powder and mix well. Switch off the stove, and allow the mixture to cool.
4

Apply a little ghee on your palm. Form small lemon sized balls out of the banana dough, and flatten it on your palm to disc shapes.
5

Place a little of the coconut filling on this, and close the edges, and roll it in your hands to form an elongated shape as shown in the photos above.
6

Heat oil in a pan, and shallow fry the unnakkaaya. Keep turning the sides, till the entire surface becomes uniform golden colour.
