Pazham Pori Recipe | Pazham Bajji | Ethakka Appam | Nendran Banana Fritters

I am really very happy to share my first video. I have planned to post some short cooking videos in the coming days. I will improve the quality of my videos in future. Today's recipe is pazham pori which is similar to stuffed banana fritters which I shared earlier. Pazham pori is a simple deep fried snack made using ripe nendran pazham. I don't know whether any other banana will work good on this recipe since I have seen, tasted and tried only using this variety.
