Banana Flower (Bondi) Sanna Polo.


 Bondi (Banana Flower) Sanna Polo .....


I have already posted Sanna Polo with cabbage and onion recipe prepared with the Patrade masala. Whenever I prepare the masala for Patrado I end up with excess masala. So I always prepare different types of Sanna Polo with this ready masala by adding some chopped onions, vegetables etc. Previously I had prepared adding finely chopped onion and cabbage. This time for a change I have added finely chopped banana flower (bondi) to the left over Patrade masala and prepared sanna polo out of them. They turned out simply lovely both in taste and texture. 


Take 3 cups of the masala prepared for making patrado in a bowl. I had used whole moong and rice along with the masala which consists of coconut, tamarind, hing and chilly for making of the Patrade.


Chop finely 1 medium sized banan flower. Use the outer leaves only. If using the inner white flowers remove the centre thick stem out of it. I got about 3-4 cups when they were chopped. Add this to the masala in the bowl. Add in 1 cup of besan / chana dal flour, salt to tate (be careful when you add salt as it is already added to the masala, so check taste before adding). Mix well and keep ready. Do not add water. If absolutely necessary just sprinkle how much is necessary only. Make the batter into bhakri consistency. You should be able to form it to loose ball consistency when you pick up the batter in hand.


Heat a tava, when smoking hot, lower the heat and pat in a large ball of the prepared sanna polo mixture on the tava. Be careful as the tava is hot. Dip you hands in water, and keep patting gently till you get a thick round small roti sized polo.Pour a bit of oil on all sides of the dosa and some on top of it. Now keep the heat on medium and cook till done on the bottom side. Flip over the sanna polo and let cook on the other side too. Prepare dosa in similar way with remaining batter. Serve these dosas with Dal Chawal. You can pour over it a tsp of coconut oil or as it is, it tastes equally good anyway. 


** Note : You can check up the recipe of Patrade for you to get the exact method of the preparation of masala for Patrade. You can follow that recipe in smaller quantity to prepare for sanna polo or make a bit of more masala while preparing patrade and use it for sanna pole.
