RAW BANANA SPICY CURRY

 

 

I made note of this recipe in my recipe book,a decade ago. Then on,this has become my go-to recipe for raw banana curry. The procedure is simple and the ingredients are minimal,yet the taste of this curry is amazing. I have even tried this recipe with boiled potatoes and it tasted yum as well. Whenever I decide to prepare raw banana curry,my family insists on this balekai palya- Kannada word for raw banana curry.
