Unniyappam is a Kerala snack made with rice batter, jaggery & mashed banana; deep fried in special moulds. These are sweet little rice fritters which are fluffy inside and makes an ideal tea time snack.
Here instead of rice batter, I have used bread slices as we had a whole loaf left over from last week. Luckily, there were a couple of over ripe bananas too left in the fruit bowl.
