Raw Banana Curry / Vazhakai Curry


One day, I thought of doing something different with raw banana and came up with this recipe. Every one at home loves this recipe and we make this quite frequently. We eat this mainly with rice. It also tastes good with chapatis.

Ingredients
Raw Banana - 2
Green Chillies - slit - 3
Grated Coconut - 3 tablespoons
Onions - 2 medium sized
Tomatoes - 3 medium sized
Ginger - one small piece
Coconut oil - 2 tsp
Mustard seeds
Curry leaves
Hing /Asafoetida
Turmeric powder
Salt

Procedure
1. Grind coconut with a little water and keep it aside.
2. Cut the raw banana into cubes and cook them in the microwave for about 5 mins.
3. Heat oil in a kadai and add the mustard seeds, hing, green chillies, ginger, turmeric powder and curry leaves.
4. Add the onions and fry well and then mix in the tomatoes and fry till they are tender.
5. Add the cooked raw banana along with half cup of water so that all the ingredients mix well.
6. Now add the ground paste and add 1 more spoon of coconut oil for extra flavour.
7. Mix well and once it boils, remove from the stove and serve hot with rice.

anjana...looks like a promising alternate version of raw banana curry as compared to the traditional curry in kerala. Have to try it though am not very fond of raw banana with tomato in it.
