Banana Stem Raitha- JFI Banana


Banana Stem Raitha is my entry to JFI:Banana. This raitha is very easy to make and nutritious too.


Ingredients: (Translation)

Banana Stem- 1 small piece
Curds- 1 cup
Salt to taste
Oil-1 spoon
Mustard seeds-1 spoon
Curry leaves- 5-6
Asafotedia

Take curd in a serving bowl and beat it well so that no lumps remain. Add some water if the curd is really thick. Remove the outer layer of the Banana stem and then cut the stem in round slices. You will notice fibre sticking to the slices, gently take the fibre off. If this is done, cutting into smaller pieces becomes very easy. Using this method, cut the banana stem into small pieces and immediately put the pieces in the curd so that it maintains its colour. If left open after cutting, banana stem pieces will turn brownish in a short span just like apples. Next add salt as per taste. Heat one spoon oil, when the oil is hot, add mustard seeds. Once the mustard seeds splutter, add curry leaves (cut into small pieces) and then add asafotedia. Pour this over the curds and mix well. Delicious raitha is ready.
