Raw banana fry

This is my moms recipe. One of my favorite when I was a kid.



Ingredients:
(Serving for 4)
Raw banana - 2
Onion - 1/2 medium size
Ginger garlic paste - 2 tsp
Urad dhal 1/2 tsp
Mustard seed - 1/2 tsp
chilli powder - 2 tsp or to taste
Coriander powder - 3 tsp
Oil - 2 Tbsp
Salt to taste

Method :
1. Cut the raw banana into medium slices. If it is very thin it might break.
2. In a non stick pan, add oil and when it is hot, add mustard seeds and urad dhal
3. Then add onions and sauté well. When it is brown, add ginger garlic paste.
4. Sauté it well. Add  sliced raw banana and fry for few minutes and add water.
5. Add water so that it is immersed in water. Too much water could over cook it.
6. Add chilli powder and coriander powder and salt.
7. When all the water is gone and it is cooked, sim the flame and add a tsp of oil and let it fry in slow flame.
8. Always take a wide pan and spread all the pieces all around the pan to get best results.
9. Around 15 minutes it should be done. It should turn into nice brown color.
10. If you feel the pieces are dry, add some oil and close the lid and cook for few minutes.

Good side dish for any rice item.
Enjoy cooking and tasting.
