My Mom is an enthusiastic learner. She is quite adventurous when it comes to trying out new dishes.
I have inherited that trait from her. She ate this snack at a friend's place and since then it has become a regular at her place. I also love it and try to make it at least once a month. It is specially yummy in monsoons. A hot cup of tea and piping hot banana snack is a lovely way to enjoy rains. Recently, a couple of friends tried it at my place and went gaga over it. So here's the recipe.
Serves: 2 hungry souls or 4 not-so-hungry ones
Ingredients:
Raw bananas - 2
Onions-2
Tomatoes- 3-4
Ginger-garlic paste - 1-2 teaspoon
Green chillies -1
Grated coconut - 2 tablespoon
Chopped coriander leaves - for garnishing
Lemon juice- 1 teaspoon
Roasted sesame seeds- 1 tablespoon
Oil - 2 tablespoons ( you can also make it in 1 tbsp. you can add a little water towards the end.)\
Garam masala- a pinch
Salt - to taste
Salt - to taste
Way to Go:
1. Peel bananas. Cut slices of medium thickness.
2. Chop onions and tomatoes. I use food processor to chop them roughly.
3. Heat oil. Add cumin seeds. When they crackle, add onions and saute'. Add ginger garlic paste. If you don't have the paste, chop 6 cloves of garlic finely and grate1 inch piece of ginger. Add chopped green chillies.
4. After the onions start browning, add tomatoes.
5. When the mix starts leaving oil, add banana slices and salt. Cover and let it cook. Bananas won't take much time to cook. Keep checking. When they turn soft, switch off the flame.
6. Add lemon juice and garam masala.
7. Garnish with grated coconut, chopped coriander and sesame seeds.
8. Enjoy while piping hot.
