Pazham Pori also known as ethakka appam or banana fritters is a traditional deep fried snack from Kerala. Pazham poris are served at almost every house in Kerala and is truly one of the yummiest snacks. It is a bajji like snack made using ripe nendram pazham/bananas.My mom makes pazham poris often and it is one of my favourite tea time snacks.
