NOTE:

---------- 

1. You can also add any chopped nuts or seeds to the dough. 

2. Raw banana can be replaced by ripen banana/dates/boiled potato/boiled sweet potato etc.

3. Dry ginger powder too can be added if desired.

4. Raw banana can be boiled instead of steaming, but make sure no water or moisture content is there in the raw banana while using in the dough. If the dough is sticky with water, it absorbs more oil while frying.
