Ingredients

8 tbsp chopped bananas
8 tsp orange marmalade
1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
4 tsp sugar
2 tbsp plain flour (maida)
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling
oil for deep-frying

Method

Combine the plain flour and 3 tbsp of water in a small bowl and mix well and keep aside.
Put the whole wheat flour in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using enough water.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Roll out a portion of the dough into a thin 150 mm. (6”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Place 1 tbsp of banana in the center, spread 1 tsp of orange marmalade and sprinkle ½ tsp of sugar evenly over it.
Apply little plain flour water mixture on half of the circle, and close it with other half and seal it tightly, by pressing it with your finger.
Repeat steps 4 to 6 to make 7 more folders.
Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, add few banana folders at a time and deep fry till they are golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
Serve immediately.
