    Notes

    • You can also use the same recipe for raw banana.
    • Make sure the banana blossom is not bitter , and keep soaking in buttermilk till you use.
    • Drain the buttermilk well and then blend.
    • If the water content is more the kola uruandai will not come perfectly. You can add more roasted gram dal powder or put in fridge to bring the kola urundai firm.
    • You can freeze the kola urundai for a week and deep fry when ever needed.
    • Makes a healthy evening snack.
