Ingredients
For the Dough
- 4.5 Bananas mashed, ripe
- 1 cup Rice Flour
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Filling
- 1 cup Coconut grated
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Nuts chopped
- 1 tbsp Milk Powder
- 1 tsp Cardamom ground
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, rice flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
- Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
- In a separate pan, combine the grated coconut and sugar over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency. This creates the sweet filling for the rolls.
- Remove the coconut mixture from the heat and stir in the chopped nuts, milk powder, and ground cardamom.
- Heat a lightly oiled frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour a small ladleful of batter onto the hot pan and spread it thinly into a circle. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden.
- Place a spoonful of the coconut filling in the center of the cooked crepe. Gently roll the crepe around the filling to form a roll.
- Serve the warm Bengali Banana Rolls immediately. They are delicious on their own or with a cup of tea.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra-crunchy exterior, lightly coat the banana rolls in a thin layer of semolina (sooji) before frying.
- Gently toast the grated coconut in a dry pan until golden before mixing it with the filling to enhance its aroma and create a more complex taste.
- To make the rolls ahead of time, assemble and shape them, then freeze on a tray. Once firm, transfer to a ziplock bag and fry directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the frying time.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk instead of dairy milk in the dough.
Expert Tips
- Serve these warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Experiment with different fillings! Try adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon to the coconut mixture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Fry in batches to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover banana rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a warm oven or air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
