Raw Banana Sabji

Ingredients

• 2 units Raw banana (Do not completely peel; leave a thin layer of skin.)
• 1.5 units Onions (Chop into small pieces.)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Red chilli powder
• 1 sprig Curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt (Adjust to taste.)
• 2 tablespoons Oil (For frying.)

Instructions

1. 1Wash the raw bananas thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a knife, peel the skin lightly, leaving a thin layer to prevent the bananas from becoming mushy during cooking.
2. 2Slice the peeled bananas into four long strips, then cut each strip into small cubes.
3. 3Heat oil in a small kadai over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for a minute. Add the banana cubes and continue to sauté for another minute.
4. 4Add turmeric, red chilli powder, and curry leaves to the kadai. Stir well, cover with a lid, and cook until the bananas are half-cooked. Then, add salt and continue cooking without the lid until the bananas are fully cooked and have a fried texture.
5. 5Once the raw banana sabji is cooked to a fried texture, remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish with rice and curry.
