Tips:
1. Raw bananas always require more of masala and water. So use them accordingly.
2. Don’t overcook the raw banana at the first stage. Since we need to cook more and if overcooked at the first stage, the besan will become very mushy.
3. After adding the besan and while it being cooked, the besan generally tends to stick at the bottom. So for that, after the besan is cooked, let it cool down and then scrape the besan from the bottom of the pan. Mix well and reheat it.
