The were so light and fluffy. I used a whole banana -- next time I may add 1 1/2 as the flavor was very light. I served them with amras, which went very well (similar to just plain mango pulp). I had trouble in the past using the ponganalu pan, but I saw a helpful video on Utube which showed that the after a minute, the ponganalu should be tipped on their sides (not completely over) so the uncooked batter can spread to the bottom and keep cooking. After another minute or so, the ponganalu can be completely flipped over. Hopefully this tip will help other first-timers like me. It made the end result much more fluffy and soft than all my previous attempts. Thanks for another wonderful recipe. (I also tried the carrot-walnut-banana bread today, which is another winner!) Best, amanda <i>Indira replies: Looks like you had a fantabulous weekend filled with fabulous food.:) Glad to hear that you had success with these two recipes.

This is excellent site. Pictures are so beautifull. Keep it up . When i saw few weeks ago banana pepper gravy curry, i did book mark this recipe. Some what i lost this page. I asked in ammas.com. Sai amma told this recipe from this site. I felt very happy for finding the right site again. Thanks. I definitely try your recipe today. My boys are always like gravy curries. Also can i try pancakes--- Sweet pongalalu with plain flour. I don't have pancake flour what to add in plain flour to make pancakes ? Thanks. Lakshmi. <i>Indira replies: Hi Lakshmi, thanks for your interest and thanks for taking time to find "Mahanandi" again. And please convey my thanks to Sai Amma. If you try banana pepper curry, let me know how you like it, I really like to hear from you again. About sweet ponganalu - You could make pancake flour at home. Add 2 eggs and a cup of milk, sugar to taste and a pinch of baking powder to a cup of all purpose flour(maida pindi), mix them all together. Make the batter little bit thick, like thick idly batter. Prepare the ponganalu. In addition to mango sauce, honey, maple syrup or plain jam, they all taste good with these ponganalu. Hope this helps. </i> Hi , Indira. This is excellent site.

I'm esp glad to learn that bananas are a good substitute for eggs as I'm planning to make eggless pancakes for my son this morning - and was wondering what to substitute the eggs with!

I have never made abeskivars but have had them a couple of times and I adore them. I need a pan. So. QUESTION - you replaced banana for egg? That was a big surprise. I had not idea that could be done. How did you know that? Does it change the texture. Does that work for other recipes? <i>Indira replies: Hi Gabriella, I got this tip from cookbooks and also from vegan websites. Smoothly mashed ripe banana acts like egg in cake, pancake, muffin etc. batters. I didn't see that much difference in texture, the end result was always smooth and crumbly.
