Peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly in a large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth and free of lumps.
Add the whole wheat flour, poppy seeds, sugar, cardamom powder, and salt into the bowl with the mashed bananas. Mix well to combine.
Drizzle in the ghee, then gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, while kneading the dough. The dough should be soft, pliable, and slightly sticky.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into equal portions about the size of a golf ball. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Dust a rolling surface with a small amount of whole wheat flour. Roll each ball into a small circle about 4 inches in diameter, ensuring it is evenly thick.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking. Test by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil; it should rise to the surface quickly and start to bubble.
Gently slide one rolled puri into the hot oil. Using a slotted spoon, lightly press the puri so it puffs up. Flip it over and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the puri with the slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Repeat the frying process with the remaining puris.
Serve the puris hot with a side of yogurt, chutney, or your favorite curry dish.
