Dissolve jaggery in warm water. Strain to remove impurities.
Mix wheat flour with fennel seeds, cardamom powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Add mashed banana and the jaggery water. Mix to a thick batter — it should drop from a spoon slowly.
Rest for 10 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep kadai to medium temperature.
Drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil carefully. Do not overcrowd.
Fry on medium heat until deep golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes.
The gulgule should puff up and be crispy outside, soft inside.
Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
