RAW BANANA 65

This is a very different and tasty curry and suitable as a side dish for any get together or a family party. I am often preparing this in my home. This babana 65 goes well with Sambar, Mor kuzhambu and Kuruma. Even with Nendhiran vazhaikkai, this tastes deliciously.




வாழைக்காய் 65

Ingredients:

Medium sized raw banana-6
Finely sliced onion-2
Finely chopped medium sized tomato-2
Small garlic flakes -2 tbsp
Curry leaves- a few
Chopped coriander- 2 tbsp
Chilli powder- 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder- half sp
Enough oil to fry and cook

Powder these ingredients finely:

Fennel seeds- 1 tsp, cloves-1, cinnamon- 1 small piece, cardamom-1, cumin seeds- a pinch, peppercorns-5

Procedure:

Cut the bananas in to ½ inch pieces and fry them in hot oil little by little until they are cooked.
They should be in white colour even after they are cooked and browning will spoil the taste.
Keep them on a paper kitchen towel.
Heat a pan and pour 3 tbsp of oil.
Add the sliced onion and cook them to golden brown.
Then add the tomato along with the garlic flakes, curry leaves and turmeric powder.
Cook the tomato until they are mashed well and the oil floats on the surface.
Add the coriander and fry for a minute.
Add the cooked banana pieces with the chilli powder and salt.
Cook the raw banana for a few minutes mixing well in intervals.
Sprinkle the ground powder, mix well and cook for a few minutes.
The delicious Raw banana 65 is ready now!
