- Grated coconut - 1/4 cup
- Cooking oil - 2 tablespoons
- Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
- A pinch of asafoetida
- Urad dal - 1 teaspoon
- Whole red chillies - 4 to 5
- Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
- 1 string of curry leaves
- Salt to taste
Method
Step 1
HOW TO MAKE RAW BANANA STIR FRY RECIPE Wash the raw banana thoroughly. Peel the skin and chop into fine medium pieces. Immerse them in a bowl of water to prevent it from changing the colour. Keep it aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a pan. Add asafoetida and mustard seeds. Once the seeds start spluttering, add urad dal and saute till golden brown.

Step 3
Now add red chillies, curry leaves, turmeric powder and onions and stir fry on a medium flame till the onions become translucent.

Step 4
Add chopped raw banana pieces, salt and little water. Close the pan with a lid and cook on a low flame till the vegetable is fully cooked.

Step 5
Once cooked, add grated coconut and mix well. Remove from the flame.

Step 6
Serve raw banana stir fry or vazhakka poriyal hot with rice as an accompaniment.

Step 7
NOTES: You can also pressure cook the raw banana upto 1 whistle. But ensure they are not overcooked and is just parboiled. You can also cook separately in a bowl of water by adding turmeric powder and salt to it. Then drain the water and add the vegetable to the seasoning. Adding lemon juice gives a tangy taste to the vegetable. But it is optional. You can use coconut oil instead of normal cooking oil to further enhance the taste. But again it is optional.
