Ingredients

• 3 large Raw bananas
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 large, finely chopped Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece, minced Fresh ginger
• 2 small, finely chopped Green chilies
• 10 Curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 400 milliliters Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Peel the raw bananas and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Soak them in water to prevent discoloration.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them splutter.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the green chilies and curry leaves, allowing their flavors to infuse for about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Drain the raw banana cubes and add them to the pan. Stir well to coat them with the onion and spice mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder over the bananas. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut milk and season with salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and let the bananas cook until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Once the bananas are cooked through, adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 11

Serve the Nut-Free Raw Banana Curry hot, paired with rice or flatbread.
