    Loved this recipe but instead of ripe, I used green banana. Result was fantastic!! I have tried to recreate this kind of bhajji in past but couldn't get the right flavour. I think that the last squeeze of lemon was the key that bought the whole dish together. Btw I am gujju and for some reason we never put lemon in our bhaji. That was so new to me, I almost left it out!!
