Raw banana thoran is a healthy and tasty side dish for rice. The raw or green banana is a good source of fibre, vitamins and minerals. So banana or ethakka or vazhakka thoran is a yummy and healthy side dish. We can have the raw banana boiled or fried. Thoran is a nutritious side dish. I am introducing my own style of raw banana thoran, which you will also love to prepare again and again..
Let's start!!
Ingredients:
1. Raw banana/
Vazhakka/ Nenthranka/
Ethakka green - 3-4 numbers

7. Salt to taste
8. water as required
9. Cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
10. Garlic - 1 glove
Preparation:
> Peel the banana by removing the outer skin. No need to peel them deeply, and chop them into small cubes / pieces and keep that in water to avoid colour change.
> Grind coconut, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, garlic glove and a pinch of salt as a coarse paste by pulsing once or twice in a blender jar without adding water and keep it aside.
> Heat oil in a pan, add chopped onion, green chilly, and curry leaves and stir well and cook till the oinion become translucent.
