Notes
Yield: 1 loaf or 8 to 9 slices.
This bread will be good only for 3 to 4 days. Use of blight brown or dark sugar gives good flavour. Its also OK to use regular white sugar. Always use ripe medium sized bananas for this bread. 3 bananas should yield about 1 to 1 1/3 cup of mashed banana puree.

Hi Mullai Akka, Tried this
Hi Mullai Akka, Tried this recipe. Asusual amazing :):) Esplly wth walnuts (my fav.) it jst disappeared like anythng. Actually , I have a question for ask you akka.. After knowing that yeast would give us a good soft and fluffy rotis, I got into a habit of adding a tsp of yeast while preparing the dough for rotis. We make rotis every alternatve days. So my doubt is.. Is yeast good for health if consumed at regular basis??
