Raw Banana Stir fry

 This recipe is adapted from cookdtv.

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

1. 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.
2. Add the oil to a pan. Add mustard seeds, hing and curry leaves.
3. Toss in the garlic and stir fry till golden.
4. Add in the raw banana slices, stir carefully till they are coated with oil.
5. 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.
6. Add in the rice flour and toss till the raw banana pieces are evenly coated.
7. Roast on low heat till browned and crispy (do not roast on high heat as the powders will burn otherwise and taste bitter).
