For making the Raw Banana Fried Curry,
first of all we will chop the bananas and marinate them.
So let us chop the bananas.
First we’ll peel them like this, peel off the thick
i.e. the green part; we’ll peel the bananas like this
and will chop them into ½ inch thick, circular pieces.
We’ve chopped the bananas, now we'll marinate them.
For this we'll take a bowl & add curd, Gram Flour,
Ginger paste, Red chili powder & Salt to it & then mix them well.
Now we'll add the banana pieces into it
& mix them well so that the spices get coated on the banana pieces.
The spices have been coated on the bananas.
Now we'll keep it for aside for 10-15 minutes so that the spices can get absorbed.
After that we'll fry them and prepare curry.
So we’ll cover the bowl and keep it aside for 20 minutes.
20 minutes have gone by
and the spices have been absorbed in the banana pieces.
Now we'll fry them.
So let us heat the oil first.
The oil has been heated and now we’ll fry these pieces.
We'll check the oil by putting a single piece of Banana into the oil.
The oil is hot enough it seems.
Now we’ll add as many banana pieces the cauldron can accommodate.
We’ve added the pieces to the cauldron
and we’ll flip and fry them until they turn golden brown.
The pieces have become brown, we’ll strain them out.
We'll put all the rest of the pieces to the oil.
They all are golden brown now strain them out as well.
Turn off the flame now.
We’ve fried all the banana pieces.
Now we'll prepare the gravy.
For this we'll take another pan & put 2 tbsp oil to them & let it heat.
Now oil is hot.
We'll add cumin seeds, asafetida, turmeric powder, coriander powder into it
& fry it a little.
Now we'll add tomato - green chili paste into it & we'll also add red chili powder
& fry them until the oil begins to float on the top of the spices.
Oil has begun separating from the spices,
now we'll add cream to it
& stir it continuously till the oil gets entirely separated from the spices.
We'll keep the flame high & stir it continuously after addend the cream.
We need to stir the spices continuously till it boils well.
If we won't do this then the cream may get spoiled.
Spices are now boiling, now we’ll add curd into it.
We'll continuously stir it after adding the curd into it,
till it has fried well.
We're preparing this gravy by adding tomato, cream & curd.
We can also prepare the gravy only with tomatoes
or with onion – tomatoes or with curd only or with cream - tomatoes
or also with Dry fruits after soaking, grinding & frying them
we can also make gravy with coconuts and also make with sesame & peanuts
So we can prepare the gravy according to our choice with various ingredients.
