Ingredients
  • 2 overripe bananas or 1 cup
  • 2 tbsp matcha green tea powder
  • 1½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup rice flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

  • ⅓ cup cashew nuts
  • ¼ cup of milk

  2. Sift the matcha tea powder with All purpose flour, rice flour, baking soda and salt.
  3. Add the bananas in a larger bowl, add milk, brown sugar,melted butter and grated coconut or unsweetened dessicated coconut. Mix well.
  4. Add the dry ingredients ½ cup at a time and fold well. Lastly add the cashew nuts.
  5. The mixture has to be of a thicker consistency. Importantly, let the batter sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors and the flours to bind well.
  6. Heat the paniyaaram, or takoyaki pan, keep it at medium heat and pour a tsp of oil in each compartment. Pour a tbsp of the batter in each. Wait for atleast 2 minutes or until the bottom is set and turn once it's cooked. Cook the other side. Once done take it out.
  7. Serve with some powdered sugar and dry dessicated coconut. Serve hot or at room temp.
  8. ENJOY!
Notes
You could skip the matcha and make it plain.
If you don't have the pan, use a shallow pan with very little oil and drop tbsp of batter and you will get the same result, except it won't be as fluffy. You can deep fry it too.;).
