Banana Fritters With Rabdi is another innovation I did in my kitchen today. Rabdi or Rasmalai is a delicious dessert made with milk which has been simmered for long time and reduced to half. Rabdi is also known as Basundi in some places. The thickness of rabdi depends purely as per your choice. Banana fritters are made by deep frying batter coated banana slices. When you combine the two, the end result is just yummy. You can enjoy the crispiness of banana fritters in delicious creamy rabdi. I have used Fortune VIVO Diabetes-Care oil in this recipe to deep fry bananas.
Not just old, but even children get diabetes. I am worried as I am in high risk of developing diabetes as both of my parents are diabetic. It is better to take precautionary actions before getting diabetes like doing exercises and eating food regularly on time.
Fortune VIVO diabetes-care oil is not just for diabetic but for everyone at home. Normally when people get diabetes they stop eating desserts. . I know a close friend of mine who stopped eating desserts when he got diabetes. They also stop eating deep fried stuff. Some people also don’t eat bananas. Bananas can be eaten by diabetics as they are good source of fiber, vitamin C and potassium. They have carbohydrates just like any other fruits. So diabetics can always eat banana to give the much needed boost but within a limit and especially after meals. Anything in access is anyways not good. Every fruit has carbohydrates, so eating them within certain limits is advisable.
Today’s dessert is made with banana and diabetics will love to have it after their meal. Remember that desserts are always had after a meal. Diabetics follow rigid diets that focus on what you can’t eat. Smart food choices can make a healthy diet delicious and exciting too.
Fatty foods are essential for the body whether or not we are diabetic. We just need to choose the right one. Fortune VIVO Oil is a smart choice for everyone including the health conscious people. It is rich in anti-oxidants like sesame lignans, α-γ tocopherols, γ-oryzanol and tocotrienols.
Tocotrienol and Oryzanol present in this oil improves insulin sensitivity in type-2 diabetes mellitus. Sesamin present in the oil has a property that helps control high blood pressure and improves the efficiency of anti-diabetic medications. Fortune VIVO Diabetes-Care Oil is completely devoid of Tran’s fat too.
The oil can be bought in different pouches. I received a 5 liter plastic can of Fortune VIVO Oil which costs Rs.675/- There is a seal on the mouth of the can which protects it from leakage and preserves freshness of the product.
The oil smells slightly like sesame oil, but it goes off after heating or cooking. It has high smoking temperature and is very stable. Taste of food is not altered in anyway by the oil and food continues to taste as expected. This oil perfectly blends with all types of curries and is suitable for cooking and frying too. Never consume this oil raw, it should be used as a cooking medium. The deep fried banana fritters in rabdi was really awesome and you all should give it a try.
Ingredients: Prep. Time: 1 hour, Serves: 4
2 Bananas, peeled and cut into thick slices
For the batter:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup corn flour
1 cup water
4-5 cardamom pods, peeled and crushed
A pinch of baking soda
A pinch of salt
For deep frying:
1 cup Fortune Vivo Oil
For Rabdi:
1 liter milk
3 tablespoon sugar / sugar free sachets
5 cashewnuts
5 almonds
5 pistas
Few strands of saffron
Procedure:
Let’s first make the rabdi ready.
1) Pour the milk in a deep heavy bottom pan and start boiling it on low heat. When the cream starts forming on the milk, stir and mix it in the milk. Occasionally (every 5 Min’s) stir the milk in the pan. If the cream sticks to the sides, gently scrape it from the sides and mix it with the milk in pan.
2) You will need a deep bottomed pan because the milk has to be boiled till it reduces to half of the original quantity.
3) When the boiling process is going on de-shell the pistachios. Slice the cashewnuts, almonds and pistas.
4) Microwave the pistas, cashewnuts and almonds slivers in 1/4 cup water for 30 seconds. Let it cool.
You can even soak the dry fruits in hot water for 15 minutes.
5) Soak the saffron strands in 2 tablespoon milk so that the saffron flavor gets infused in the milk.
6) Do not forget to stir the boiling milk every 4-5 Minutes, while keeping the other ingredients ready.
7) Once the milk reduces to half the original quantity, mix sugar and stir.
Add the saffron infused milk to the boiling milk.
8) Now stir this continuously for another 10 Minutes taking care that the milk does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
9) Let the rabdi cool down.
10) While the rabdi is getting cooled, make the banana fritters ready.
11) Take a mixing bowl and add the both the flours. To this add water, little at a time to make a thick batter. Add baking powder, crushed cardamom powder and salt and mix well. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
12) Heat a kadai and add 1 cup Fortune VIVO oil to it.
13) When the oil gets heated, coat every banana slice with batter and gently drop it in the oil.
14) Deep fry it till it turns golden brown.
Do this for all other banana slices.
15) Drain this on a kitchen towel.
16) After the rabdi and banana fritters cool, take a serving bowl.
Add the banana fritters to it and pour the rabdi over. You can even add one banana fritter to a small serving bowl and top it with 2-3 tablespoon rabdi and serve it in smaller portions.
17) Serve chilled.
