                              Kelya Modoku is a very popular snack among the GSBs of Kochi, Kerala and around it !! Also made as Nivedu for many rituals /poojas , this is very easy & quick to make ! even when you have a lot of over ripe bananas  you can prepare this & make your kids & family happy with a delicious & healthy snack !  Ingredients :-

• Salt – a pinch

 Method :-

1. Mash  the bananas well ..then add all the other ingredients . mix well  to make a soft dough .
2. See that the dough is softer & wetter than a chapati dough ..but should not be too watery . add more flour to thicken it .
3. Heat oil in a kadai & drop small balls or pinches of the dough into the oil and deep fry  till  golden brown .
4. Keep the flame on medium so that  the insides too cook well and the outside is crisp .
5. Remove and serve .

1. 1. There are many variations to this as each family follows the traditional methods in their family .
   2. some usually make with just atta and bananas, pinch of salt  . and do not add sugar or jaggery .
   3. Some add cardamom too for added flavour .
