1

Melt the jaggery in half cup water. Strain if there are impurities.
2

Mash the bananas. It is better to start with three.
3

Mix the wheat flour, ginger powder, cardamom powder, baking soda and salt. Skip the salt if the jaggery is salted.
4

Add the mashed bananas and melted jaggery to the above mixture.
5

Make a sticky dough by adding a little water. You can mash and add the 4th banana, if needed, at this stage. No need to knead much.
6

Cover the dough with a wet cloth and keep aside for 30 minutes.
7

Knead the dough for 2 minutes. It will still be sticky.
8

Divide into fist size balls.
9

Fry in hot oil, in a medium flame, so that it is cooked well from inside. When cooked, the undampori will turn brown.
10

Drain the excess oil on paper towel. Undampori is ready to serve.
