ABOUT Raw Banana Curry with Green Peas RECIPE

Turn this humble veggie into an absolutely delicious and appetizing curry. I kept it dry to be had with any Indian bread. The addition of the aromatic Andhra spice (kura karam podi) adds a distinct flavour to this preparation. You can substitute it with sambar / rasam powder. That will give a punch to the dish. It can also be relished as a side dish with either curd-rice, sambar-rice or a simple dal/kadhi-chawal. Do add some lime juice for a tangy flavour.

Ingredients Serving: 3

2 raw plantain, peeled & chopped
1/2 cup frozen green peas
2-3 tbsp. oil

1 sprig curry leaves
1 onion, chopped

1 tsp. roasted cumin powder
1 tbsp. roasted coriander powder
1 & 1/2 tbsp. kura karam powder / sambar powder

Instructions
