RAW BANANA CRISPY SPICY CURRY

 

 

 

Variety is truly the essence of life — a phrase that feels perfectly tailored to capture the ever-changing delights of our daily menu. Raw banana is an amazing veggie that adapts to almost any dish. Today, my taste buds were craving a spicy curry to complement the subdued flavor of the sambar I prepared for lunch. This crispy, spicy curry lived up to my expectations and proved to be the perfect accompaniment to plain rice, sambar rice, and curd rice — I savored it with all three!
