Mon, 21 Aug 2023 15:31:57 +0000

This Sunday we had to remove few banana plant in our backyard. So I got some banana stem from them. Why waste this delicious part of the plant when we can make some good salad with it. This salad or if I can call it Raita goes well with afternoon meal. It has a crunchy texture to it. You can also control the spiciness according to the main course. The fibrous stem of the banana plant is also good for the digestion. So lets see how to make this delicious salad.

Ingredients

Tender Banana Stems - 2-3 pieces (5-6 inches long)
Green Chillies as per taste (6-7)
Yoghurt - 1/2 Kilograms
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 2 twigs
Coconut Oil - 1 1/2 tsp (Any cooking oil is okay except mustard and sesame oil)
Ginger - 1/2 -1 inch
Salt to taste

Method

Wash and finely chop the banana stems. Sometime you will get stem fibers while cutting the stem, pull them and remove them slowly then throw them away.

Today I am going to share recipes for kadhi and carrot salad that I mentioned in the corn and herb pulao recipe. These are very simple recipes and won’t require special expertise to prepare.

Kadhi is a simple north Indian dish. North Indian kadhi is generally thick; I am preparing the kadhi with buttermilk where as in north India it is prepared with yoghurt making it thicker. You may experiment by putting vegetables like fried (bhindi) okra or brinjal. This curry is generally served with boiled rice. I am keeping it simple because I am serving it with the corn and herb pulao.

First I’ll tell you how to prepare the kadhi and then we will move on to the carrot salad.
