Ethakka (Banana / Nendran Pazham) Bonda | Sweet Plantain Balls ~ A Guest Post for Soumya

Soumya and me have been introduced through blogosphere with our similar tastes (food blogging) three years back. Eventually we became good friends over chat, mail and blog posts in this virtual world. She is a very simple and humble person. She has a beautiful family with a cute little daughter. When she wrote to me if I could do a guest post for her, I was more than happy to be part of our space. She gave me the freedom to select a recipe and to let her know about the same. Thanks Soumya for inviting me on your splendid blog- Tuma's Tongue Treats. Her blog has many south Indian delicacies,ice creams,desserts,shakes and sweets. Apple rice, Raspberry Ripple Ice cream, Mangalore Bonda is one unique recipe that I fell in love with. So as far as you all remember my guest posts are always something sweet to share the happiness with some of my dear friends.

Ethakka bonda is similar to potato bonda or sukhiyan  but made with ripe plantains (ethakka). This has a good flavor of ghee with a soft filling inside and a perfect crispy cover. I saw a similar one in a cookery show and was instantly hooked by the idea. However, I made some changes to suit up to my family tastes. Over to Soumya's Tuma's Tongue Treats  for the recipe details and step by step pics, see you all there. Enjoy :)
