Wash and soak urad dal in water for about 4 hours.

Grind urad dal along with soaked water (add little extra water if needed) into thick dosa batter consistency using a mixer grinder. Add 1/2 spoon of salt, grind for 10 seconds. Transfer the content on to a vessel.
Remove the skin of banana. Chop into small pieces as shown in the photo.
Heat a thick Bottomed kadai. Add oil and heat further. Now add chopped banana onto urad dal batter and mix well. Take big spoon of it and drop into oil. After a minute turn upside down and cook both the sides. Now remove from oil and put it into sugar syrup. Soak them properly for 2 minutes and take it out. Add next batch of fried fritters onto sugar syrup and continue the same.
Juicy, fruity Jenari is ready to serve.
