Kacche Kele Ke Kebab / Raw Banana Cutlets#FantasticalFoodFight

Vrat means "fast" and these kebabs are designed specifically for those who are fasting. Though these kebabs are specially meant for vrat, you can enjoy them any time you wish. These are No Onion & Garlic kebabs , have them yogurt or Mint & Coriander Chutney. These are very delicious and easy to make.
When Sarah our host gave us Banana as a theme for this month, I,  was very happy, since this is right time to prepare these kebabs.  

In India we celebrate the  Shravan, which is fasting month for Hindus. All types of fasting food is enjoyed during this month and these kebabs are apt for fasting.

Ingredients 
2 Rawa Bananas- Boiled and grated
¾ Cup Boiled Green Peas - mashed
2 Tablespoons Heaped Coriander leaves- finely chopped
½ Teaspoon Salt or to taste
1 Tablespoon Heaped Roasted Gram powder
1/3 Cup Dehyrated Spinach Leaves - see recipe below
¼ Teaspoon Garam masala
1 Teaspoon Amchor /Mango powder
1 Teaspoon Minced Ginger
2 Green Chillies - minced
Oil  as required for frying

Method

Boil the raw bananas with the peel.  Place the bananas in a container and steam it in a pressure cooker on high flame after the first whistles , reduce the flame to medium low and keep it  for 10 minutes .  Then cool the pressure pan.  Remove the bananas and cool them completely,  then peel them and grate them.
Mash the peas in a small chopper or small mixer jar.
Mix all the ingredients well to make a nice dough. 
Then pinch equal size balls and shape into small flat kebabs. 
Heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a broad frying pan and fry them till golden brown on medium high flame.
Serve hot with ketchup, chutney and salad.

How to make Airfryer Dehyrated Spinach/Palak Leaves at home.
Wash and dry the leaves and keep spread them on a tea towel to dry.  When dry.  Place them in a airfryer not on the basket but below the basket or else they will fly while the airfyer is running.
Dehyrated them at 80 degrees C for 45 minutes after every 20 minutes just toss them.  Then crush them with your hands they are done. Store  it in a zip lock bag in the refrigerator.  Use whenever required.
