Take a bowl, add gram flour to it, also add chopped onions, green chilies, a little bit of salt as more has to be added in the gravy, red chilly powder, garam masala, slight sugar and coriander leaves and make a dough-like batter so that balls can be formed. We don’t need to add water to it.

Fry these banana balls in hot oil till light brownish in color. Strain and keep aside.

Step 4 

Now to make the gravy, heat a wok and add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil to it. Add 1 tsp of cumin, the given amounts of curry leaves, green chilies and asafoetida to it. When they crackle add finely chopped onions and saute for two minutes. Next add 2 tbsp of tomato puree, cumin powder, salt, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, garam masala and fry these till their rawness disappears.

Step 5

When the masalas in the pan start to give a good aroma add the given amount of poppy seed-cashew paste and fry it for three minutes, add some water to make a thick gravy. Now add the banana balls and let them get soaked so that the balls will be softer and a sumptuous gravy will be made.

Step 6

Garnish with some chopped coriander and fresh cream.
