RAW BANANA SPICY CURRY

 

 

Next to the potato, I feel raw banana is one of the most pliant vegetables, as it adapts to any kind of preparation. In the recipe I’ve illustrated, it calls for raw banana gratings—a curry with a crumble-like consistency. But I have used chunks of raw banana instead.

I always have the habit of mixing plain rice and ghee with palya or any kind of curry before proceeding to sambar and rasam. And I can certainly affirm that this dish tastes good with plain rice, curd rice, or even seasoned sambar
