Potatoes are more accessible and provide a similar texture.

Boil raw bananas until tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Peel the boiled bananas and mash them in a bowl.

Add gram flour, finely chopped onion, ginger, green chili, and coriander leaves to the mashed bananas.

Mix in cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt.

Add lemon juice and mix until well combined.

If the mixture is too dry, add a little water to achieve a dough-like consistency.

Sprinkle baking soda into the mixture and fold gently.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into balls or koftas.

Carefully drop the koftas into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

Remove the koftas and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve hot with chutney or curry.
