Raw Banana Tikki

This is one of my (or rather my family's) favourite starter. The recipe, again, is by Sanjeev Kapoor.

Ingredients:
Raw Bananas- 2
Grated Carrots-2
Chopped Onion-2
Chopped Ginger-2 spns
Chopped Coriander- 1spn
Roasted Groundnut powder- 1cup
Chat Masala-1/2 spn
Chopped Green chillies- 1spn
Red chilli powder- 1spn
Turmeric powder-1/4 spn
Salt to taste
Oil (for shallow frying)

Method:

Peel and boil the bananas. Once cooled, grate it so that there are no lumps.
Heat oil in a pan. Add green chillies, haldi and chopped ginger. Add onions and saute. To this, add grated carrots and fry until they become soft. Add red chilli powder, chat masala, salt and coriander leaves. Mix well and switch off the flame. Let it cool. To this mixture add grated banana. Make it into tikkis and coat it with groundnut powder. Shallow fry on a non-stick pan until golden brown. Serve with tomato sauce.
