Banana and dates combined along with rice flakes and vermicelli, made into cutlets and pan fried, delicious snack…
I often make some kind of snack using plantain or dates, mostly I combine these together and make into cutlets. Easy to make and taste delicious. This time, I added bananas instead of plantain. The only difference is that bananas when mashed up become too soft and the cutlets will have a soft texture, while plantains are lil more harder.
Just for crunchiness, I added roasted vermicelli to the cutlet mixture. The bananas and dates will impart the needed sweet, so you don’t have to add any sugar to these cutlets. These cutlets tasted sweet and delicious.
