Bharali RajeLi

Rajeli banana or plantain is yellow in color, slightly bigger than normal banana( king size) hence the name (Raja=king) When ripe only then it gives a sweet taste. When raw it is used to make fried chips or wafers.
bharali rajeLi is a sweet dish but I make it slight spicy by adding green chili and cumin seeds.

Ingredients
2-3 ripe RajeLi ( outer skin should turn black; though it is black from outside,from inside it is firm)

2-3 tsp ghee

To be ground

1/2 cup freshly grated coconut

1/4 cup sugar (as per taste)
2 green chilies
1 tsp cumin seeds
a pinch of saindhav/black salt/salt

Method

• Peel off the banana. Make 3-4 pieces according to the size.Give four cuts to each piece so that you can stuff the mixture in it.
• Grind all the other ingredients.
• Stuff the mixture into the pieces.
• Heat ghee in the non-stick pan. Arrange the pieces upside(open side)down. Cover the pan.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes. Check in between. Turn  the sides when golden brown.
  
• Serve warm or cold with sajuk tup.

Note
cashew nuts and raisins with cardamom is added in purely sweet version.
