Trivia Tadka

Kolar Bora is a tea¬-time snack. ‘Kolar’ means ‘banana’ and ‘Bora’ means ‘pakora’. These banana pakoras are the preferred Bengali delicacy during the Janmashtami and Makar Sankranti festival holidays.

Ingredients

  • Sugar powder (½ cup)
  • Cinnamon (dalchini) powder (1 tsp)
  • Baking powder (½ tsp)
  • Oil (for frying)

  • Then, add in the sugar powder and mix well with a spatula.
  • Next, add in the maida, milk powder, cinnamon powder and baking powder and mix well again.
