All you need  is Banana - 1 ripe Whole Wheat Flour - 1 cup Butter - 1 tbsp softened (optional) Mash the banana in a bowl. Now add the flour and the butter to the mashed banana and make a dough. You won't need to add water for making the dough, if you are adding butter. But if you don't add butter, at this stage add water by spoon , if needed and make the dough.
