  2. In another bowl, add atta, ghee, salt, and baking powder.
  3. Now to this flour add jaggery water.
  4. Add fennel seed and mix well.
  5. Heat the oil in a pan and put a spoonful of the mixture in the oil when it has heated up properly.

To make Non-fried Gulgula or Non-fried Banana Fritters, heat non-stick appam or Paniyaram Pan Patra by adding little ghee (clarified butter) in its appam cavities and shallow fry accordingly.

  12. Garlic bread is a regular feature in our kitchen.
    We make gulgulas on sheetala ashtami. I liked the idea of adding bananas to the gulgule. Sounds interesting. Will try it out.
