Ethakka Thoran/Vazhakkai Poriyal/Raw Banana Kerala Style

Normall we use pandikka/vazhakkai for thoran and mezhukkupuratti. This time I went home, there were some left over ethakka after making chips so amma suggested we make thoran with that. Not only did it come out well, but I am also quite proud of the pic below :D




What I Used:

Raw bananas - 3
Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
Shallots - 6 nos
Jeera powder - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder - one pinch
Chilly powder - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - one strand
Salt - to taste

How I Made It:

Boil the banana till soft in a little water and salt. Grind coconut, jeera powder, 2 shallots and turmeric. Heat oil and add mustard seeds and urad dal. Then add the remaining shallots in small pieces, curry leaves, the ground coconut paste and fry a little. Finally add the boiled banana, mix well and stir till the paste has blended. Serve warm with rice.
