RAW BANANA PODIMAS

 

Raw banana podimas is a simple crumble curry with mild flavours.In authentic brahmin cuisine,onion and garlic is not used in preparing this curry.I employed a few tweaks--like grinding coconut and green chillies for a different flavour profile.If you are tired of eating masala laden food,then you must try this simple yet flavourful curry and you will certainly love it !
