It was a warm summer afternoon. The sunlight shining through the sheers in the living room, everyone rising up from their post lunch siesta. My nani put up a pot on the stove to get the tea brewing and soon the fragrance filled the kitchen. Soon after, all us were up and about waiting for the tea and afternoon snacks. My nani comes out of the kitchen with eagerness to tell us she’s making ‘pangoji’ for all of us.
Well that’s one of the memories, I fondly revisit when someone asks me why I am such an ardent tea lover.
Pangoji, roughly translating to Goan banana fritters is a much loved and a delectable tea time snack.
What you’ll need-
- 1 bowl of semolina( suji rava)
- 1/2 bowl of thin curd
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
