Raw Banana Balls/Vazhakkai Kola Urundai

 Recently i tried my hands in making a fantastic starter aka snacks with raw banana aka plantains, yes i tried kola urundai with this incredible vegetable. Usually kola urundais are prepared with minced meats, but somehow we do make kola urundais with veggies like yam,banana blossom. Since i chosed this week's blogging marathon with Snacks for a movie date as theme, am posting this dangerously addictive and very crispy snacks.

Raw Banana Balls,Kola Urundai

You can serve very well this raw banana kola urundais for any occasions,these balls are definitely a crowd pleaser and quite easy to feed anyone with this veggies. Personally making kola urundais with plantain is one of the best way to sneak this vegetable and its a kid's friendly dish. Once you finished frying these balls, just serve your kids and see how fast these crispy balls gets vanish. Am sure this kola urundai will become a family favourite if you prepared them at home. Obviously you can munch these crispy beauties while watching a movie without any fuss.
