Directions

Step 1

Peel the raw bananas and chop them into medium-sized pieces. Keep them in water to prevent discoloration.

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.

Mix in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook this spice mixture for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Drain the banana pieces and add them to the pan. Stir well to coat them with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Pour in the water and cover the pan. Let the bananas cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they become tender.
