RAW BANANA SABJI

RAW BANANA SABJI:

This is a sabji, I tasted in my neighbours place and I couldn’t recognise the vegetable used in it. It tasted just like aloo ki sabji. She smiled and told me that it’s raw banana. Tastes very delicious and can be mistaken for aloo:).

You’ll need:

Raw Banana: 1 no. peeled and diced.

Onion: 1 med size diced

Chillies: 2-3 nos

Cumin powder: 1/2 teaspn

Corriander powder: 1/2 teaspn

Garam Masala: 1/2 teaspn

Salt: to taste

Oil: 1 .5 teaspn

Mustard seeds: 1 teaspn

Cumin Seeds: 1 teaspn

Asafoedita: a pinch

Curry leaves: 3-4 nos.

Procedure:

In a wok, add some oil, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, add asafoedita once they splutter. To this add chillies, onions, curry leaves and saute for a while. Add raw banana pieces to it and saute. These raw banana might take a while to cook. If you are in a hurry, you can microwave the banana for about 3 minutes or more depending on the rawness.  Saute the banana for a while and add cumin, corriander, garam masala powder, salt and keep stirring . You can add some water if you need it to be of  gravy consistency. Raw Banana Sabji is ready. Tastes good with rotis and chapatis.

Note: Raw banana has a tendency to turn black if kept for sometime. You can avoid this problem by adding all the pieces of bananas in a water with a spoonful of curds in it. Thanks Madhuri for reminding me.
