Ingredients:
Method
Peel and mash the bananas
Mix mashed bananas, butter, sugar and flour with fingers – make sure there are no lumps and the dough is soft and similar to risen bread dough. Do not add any water.
Heat oil in a large vessel (wok) on medium-low flame.
To test oil whether it is ready, just drop a tiny bit of the dough (size of a tiny bead) into the oil. If the dough starts sizzling and frying, oil is hot enough to start frying. Make sure you remove that tiny piece and throw it.
Once oil is hot drop spoonful of the dough into the hot oil.
Turn couple of times to make sure the dough gets fried on all side.
Once Vaaippan is golden, drain on paper towel.
Yields about 14-15 Vaaippaans
Note: When frying make sure the oil is not too hot. Oil should not be smoking and Vaaippaan should be fried on Medium-low flame. So that it will give time for the inside to get cooked.
Variation: For additional flavor, a little bit of cardamom powder can be added. But I like it as it is since cardamom powder will mask the banana smell and flavor. Also frying in coconut oil will enhance the flavor.
