kelaeveryday
There is no single language called Indian, so this page gives Hindi. A banana is केला (kela). The plural is केले (kele), as in दो केले (do kele), two bananas.
Raw bananas, कच्चा केला (kachcha kela), are cooked as a vegetable in many Indian homes. Ripe ones are पका केला (pakka kela).
Meaning: yellow fruit (noun)
How does it change in a sentence?
केला (kela) is masculine, so it takes forms like केला मीठा है (kela meetha hai).
