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!!
This dish is so new to me…had no clue we can make dishes with ripe bananas…I'm going to try this today itself. Also I might substitue the methi with spinach as thats what I have on hand now…will share my feedack once i do 🙂
lovely and healthy
Nice and heathy dish…
