This raw banana (plantain / aratikaya / vazhaka) curry is in mustard base. The slight bitterness from the mustard paste gives a very interesting taste when combined with raw banana.
My mother prepares this curry once in a while instead of raw banana fry.
Ingredients
- Raw banana - 1
- Mustard - 1 tsp
- Green Chilli - 1
- Turmeric - 1/8 tsp
- Coconut - as per taste (optional)
- Salt - to taste
- Oil - 1 tbsp
Procedure
- Soak mustard, green chilli in little water for about 15-20 minutes.
- Make a paste of the above with very little water and keep aside.
- Remove the peel of the raw banana and dice. As you dice, put the pieces in a container holding water sufficient to immerse the pieces. This is to avoid the discolouring of the raw banana.
- Steam the raw banana stove or microwave for 5-6 minutes on high and then for 3 minutes on medium setting. You can also boil the veggie instead of steaming. If boiling you may add salt and little turmeric to the veggie.
- In a kadai, add oil and heat. Add the steamed plantain pieces and fry for a couple of minutes. Now add the ground paste.
- Add salt and turmeric if not added while steaming.
- Simmer and saute for another 5 minutes till the raw smell goes.
- Add freshly grated coconut or dessicated coconut and saute for another couple of minutes. Adding of coconut is optional.
- Serve hot with steaming rice.
