Mix everything well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Shape the mixture into small, flat tikkis.
Heat a tava or skillet over medium heat and fry the tikkis until golden brown on both sides.

Ensure the bananas are well-mashed to help bind the mixture together.
Adjust the spice levels according to your taste preference.
Use a non-stick pan to prevent the tikkis from sticking.
Can I use ripe bananas for this recipe?
