We love almost all sweet dishes.
Here is our another traditional recipe which very much favorite of kids is known as "Gulgulla". A sweet pakoda.

We usually love ripe bananas.
But after 2 -3 days we never eat those bananas which skins is black in colour and extra ripen it not look good but in taste it is very sweet and smell is also very strong.
Don't throw these leftover banana .
You may use leftover bananas or you can use fresh banana as well.
The taste is more when its more ripen.
Gulgulla tastes best when it fried in desi ghee only. You may also use oil.
Banana is optional as many people don’t like the flavor banana. You can skip this and make without bananas.
We used to combine sweet with spicy so Gulgulla we serve with channa tarkari.
For evening snacks with a cup of tea its so relaxing .
