PREPARATION

OUTER COVERING

a)  Cut each plantain into three or four pieces and pressure cook the cut plantain pieces using little water till soft (about 1 whistle is only required)

b)  Peel off the skin and mash the plantain pieces well with your hands without any lumps (never use a blender or mixer)

Sweet "UNNAKAI" is ready....Yumm...My mouth is watering...Do give a try and enjoy...

Notes

Let me give some useful tips related to our sweet "UNNAKAI"

a)  Mash the cooked plantains using hands itself..Never ever use a grinder or mixer as it truly spoils the taste and texture of plantain covering

b)  Make sure the mashed plantain is lump free..Mash it well.

c)  Use only medium ripe banana for tasty unnakai.

d)  Care is needed while frying..Just fry till golden brown in medium flame. There is a chance of getting burned

e)  Care is needed while closing and ovaly rolling the unnakai...Make sure that the outer covering will not break while frying.

And A Very Sweet Dish "UNNAKAI" Is Ready..
