    Kele Mulik Recipe – Delicious, easy and healthy banana fritters from Konkan Cuisine. They are crispy outside and soft inside. 

    What is Kele Mulik?

    Kele Mulik or Kele Mulka is a Konkani style banana fried modak. These tiny deep-fried fritters are made with semolina or sooji, ripened banana, jaggery, coconut and wheat flour. These can be made during Ganesh Chaturthi festival and served as a sweet snack.

    Is Kele Mulka Vegan?

    Yes, it is. This recipe doesn’t require any ghee or butter.

    How long does Banana Modak last?

    They can be stored up to 2 days in an airtight container.

    How to serve Kele Mulik?

    They are usually offered to Lord Ganesh on Vinayaka Chaturthi. They can also be served as a sweet snack with coffee or tea.

    Few Tips to Make the Best Konkani Kele Mulik:

    • If you are not vegan, deep fry the fritters in ghee for the better flavor and taste.
    • Make sure the oil or ghee is enough hot and fry on a low flame to make them crispy.
    • Adjust the consistency by adding more water or semolina. Please refer the photographs or video to understand.
    • Do not skip coconut. But, you can use fresh coconut or dry coconut. I have used desiccated coconut.
