Use Every Banana With 15 Banana Recipes, From Nut Bread To Pudding
When life gives you overripe, browned bananas, make these banana recipes. Although bananas seemingly turn brown in the blink of an eye, for folks who love a tender slice of banana bread with their morning cup of coffee, it's certainly a blessing in disguise. As bananas begin to brown, their starches break down into sugar, which puts them at their prime for naturally sweetening everything from Smashed-Banana Bread to Banana Sticky Toffee Pudding. Of course, there's always a time and place for perfectly ripe bananas, too. Here are flavorful ways to use a bunch of bananas, at any stage of life.

Recipe: Manisha's Raw Banana Fry
When the downpours get freakish and the chilly, damp weather is keeping you indoors, it's time to get the stove fired up and a kadhai sizzling with oil in it, to make a round of fried chatpata snacks.
This is a recipe just right for the enterprise because Manisha Kotian's Raw Banana Fritters are homemade, use less oil and you actually know what's going into the dish, unlike the store-bought chips or French fries from restaurants and fast food eateries.
There's nothing intricate about this delicious recipe and it can be put together in under 30 minutes and enjoyed with ketchup on a rainy day, post school, when your children are bored and can't step out to play. It makes for an exciting tea-time snack, but Manisha suggests you also consider serving it along with a dal-rice combo on a weekday as well.
