Gather @white rice{300%g}, @whole milk{150%ml}, @green cardamom pod{4} and @vegetable oil{750%ml}.

Soak the rice in plenty of water for 4 hours, then drain well. ~{4%hours}

Blend the soaked rice with the mashed @banana{1}, @sugar{100%g}, milk and cardamom into a smooth batter about as thick as pancake batter; loosen with a spoonful of milk if it's too stiff to pour.

Rest the batter 15 minutes so the rice finishes softening. ~{15%minutes}

Heat the oil in a deep, heavy pot to 160°C — a trickle of batter should sizzle and rise steadily, not violently.

Pour the batter into a piping bag or squeeze bottle and pipe a continuous ring directly into the hot oil, working from the outside in.

Fry, turning once, until deep golden and firm enough to hold its shape, 3–4 minutes. ~{210%seconds}

Lift onto a rack to drain and cool slightly before eating.
