Ingredients
- 1 raw banana or 2 small bananas
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp mustard
- 6 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 sprig curry leaves
- 1/4 tsp hing
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1.5 tsp red chili powder
- 1.5 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp fennel powder
- 1 tbsp rice flour powder
- Salt
Method
- Peel and slice the banana. Cook in salt + turmeric water till the raw banana is cooked through but still firm. Take care to not overcook as the raw bananas will become mushy otherwise.
- Add the oil to a pan. Add mustard seeds, hing and curry leaves.
- Toss in the garlic and stir fry till golden.
- Add in the raw banana slices, stir carefully till they are coated with oil.
- Add in the red chili powder, coriander powder and fennel powder, mix well. Cover and cook for a couple mins. Uncover and let roast till the raw smell from the spices is gone.
- Add in the rice flour and toss till the raw banana pieces are evenly coated.
- Roast on low heat till browned and crispy (do not roast on high heat as the powders will burn otherwise and taste bitter).
