Raw Banana Curry

 Raw bananas are rich sources of potassium and vitamins A and C.They are high in carbohydrates and thus serve as energy boosters.They are also rich in dietary fiber.
Try this atleast once and you will want to eat it again and again.You can either eat this curry as a side dish with chappathis or just like a snack!
                                So,here we go:
  Ingredients: Raw bananas-3                                                                      serves 4
                      greenchillies-4
                      turmeric powder-1/2 tsp
                      asfoetida-1/4 tsp
                      coriander leaves-1 small bunch
                      curry leaves-6-7
                      coconut scrapings
                      mustard seeds-1/4 tsp
                      urad dal-1/2 tsp
                      bengal gram dal-1/2 tsp
                      oil-2 tblp
                       salt to taste.
Method of preparation:
  1.                       Take 3 raw bananas.
                                        

    2.            Put them in a vessel with water and boil till it starts turning black.(about 10min).(If the bananas are already black due to refrigeration,then after 10min of boiling take them out of the vessel.)
                                          
          3.            Allow them to cool.Then peel off the skin.
                                                    

          4.           Grate the peeled bananas (gratings should not be too small or too thin).Looks something like this!
                                 Don't they look like cheese or coconut gratings:)

 5.         Heat oil for seasoning(2tblsp for this curry,to prevent sticking to the vessel) in a wok. Splutter mustard seeds.Add cut/ground green chillies(however you like them).Add asfoetida,turmeric powder and finally add the gratings of raw bananas.Sauté them well.
                                   Hmm...we are almost done!wait till you to see the final product.  ;)

6.     To the above 'almost' done curry, add finely chopped coriander leaves and coconut scapings and mix well.This completes the curry, but not yet ready to serve.
7.    To serve, transfer the curry into a serving bowl. Fry curry leaves,urad dal and bengal gram dal separately.Garnish the curry with these along with more chopped coriander leaves and coconut scrapings. Yes!Our Raw banana curry is ready .
                          See how simple it is to prepare this tasty and nutritious dish!
