Ingredients:
120g gram flour
40g plain brown flour or chapatti flour
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin seeds

Method:
Sieve the flours together and mix in the chilli, turmeric, cumin and salt. Rub in the ghee.
Mash the banana with the sugar & knead into the flour mix, bit by bit, you may not need all the banana, until a rollable dough has formed.
If the dough is too sticky add a little flour or a drop of water if the dough is dry & crumbly.
Divide into 10 equal balls, dip in flour and roll out into circles about 10cm wide, shake off any excess flour. Smear a non-stick frying pan or a griddle with ghee and fry the puris one at a time until golden on both sides.
Eat hot with a thali.
