Raw Banana Pulissery

One day when my husband brought home raw bananas, suddenly I remembered that in childhood I have had raw banana pulissery. It is easy to prepare and tasty with boiled rice.

Ingredients

1 raw banana

2 ½ cups curd

½ cup water

½  tsp turmeric powder

Salt to taste

To season:

1 tbsp coconut oil

¼ tsp mustard seeds

¼ tsp cumin seeds

¼ tsp fenugreek seeds

1 tsp finely cut onion

1 tsp ginger, garlic cut fine

1 green chilli cut into three

A few curry leaves

Instruction

-          Peel the raw banana, cut into cubes, Put them in boiling water with a pinch of turmeric powder and salt for five minutes. Drain and keep aside

-          Beat the curd nicely, add water, turmeric powder, salt and mix well.

-          Heat oil in a thick bottomed vessel, add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, cut onion, ginger and garlic, curry leaves and cut green chilli. When they brown, remove the vessel from fire.

-          Let it cool for a couple of seconds and slowly add the prepared curd. Keep stirring and keep on low flame.

-          When frothing appears along the sides, add the boiled raw banana pieces. Keep stirring and remove from fire after a minute. Don’t let it boil, or the curd will curdle.

-          Serve with boiled rice.
