RAW BANANA PODIMAS

 

 

 

Raw banana podimas is a simple curry with subtle flavour. In preparing this curry,boiled raw banana is grated and tossed over a simple seasoning. This curry has a crumble consistency and an apt side dish for any kind of spicy preparations.There is another version,that is devoid of onions-mostly prepared in brahmin households. I have also come across spicier version of this podimas curry with strong masala flavour. It can also be prepared with potatoes.
