To begin making Kela Methi Bhajiya Recipe, in a large mixing bowl, add besan flour, wheat flour, cooking soda, asafoetida, chilli powder, pepper powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, sugar and required amount of salt to it. Mix everything well.

Add the ripe banana and methi leaves to it and mash the bananas with your hands or with the back of a wooden ladle. 

Now add water little by little and mix to make a smooth thick batter. Let the mixture rest for about an hour.

In a heavy bottomed pan, heat oil on a medium flame. Mix the batter well again and drop small dollops of batter into oil. Keep flipping the fritters around in the oil and fry until it turns golden on all sides.

Remove from oil and drain excess oil in kitchen tissues. 

If you do not want to deep fry, you can alternatively fry the batter in a paniyaram pan.

Heat a paniyaram pan with a few drops of oil in each of the cavities, drop in the Banana Methi Fritters batter in the cavities, turn the flame to medium and close the lid. 

After 3 to 4 minutes, you will notice the top of the paniyarams getting cooked.

At this point, turn over each paniyaram and allow it to cook the other side. This time around don't cover with a lid. Allow it to cook on medium low heat until the bottom is browned and crisp. 

Serve Banana Methi Fritters along with a cup of Tea and Dhaniya Pudina Chutney at your Tea time or give your kids as an after school snack.
