A hot and sweet preparation made from raw bananas
For US to UK equivalents see this rough guide

Recipe Ingredients:

  • Preparation time: 30 minutes
  • Serves: 4
  • Required ingredients:
  • Oil -- 3 tbsp
  • Black Mustard Seeds -- 1/4 tsp
  • Curry Leaves -- 8
  • Red Chili Powder -- 1/2 tsp
  • Turmeric -- 1/4 tsp
  • Salt to Taste
  • Set 1



Method:


Raw Bananas (different than unripe bananas we eat) -- 4
Tamarind Paste -- 1.5 tbsp
Set 2
Cumin Seeds -- 1 tsp
Garlic -- 4 cloves
Ginger -- 1/2 inch piece
Cloves -- 2
Uncooked Rice -- 1 tsp
Make Set 2 into a paste (adding a few drops of water) and keep aside.
Raw bananas should be cut into four pieces each. Remove the skin and keep aside.
In a deep skillet heat oil, add mustard seeds and when seeds start popping add curry leaves and the
above paste
(of Set 2). Fry on moderate heat for one minute. Add 1.5 cups water, tamarind paste, and the banana
pieces. Also
add red chili powder, tumeric and salt. Let cook on low heat for 15 minutes or until the gravy thickens.
Note: Some tamarind paste can be very sour, so you may need to adjust according to your taste. You can
add a
spoon of sugar just before removing from heat.


As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
