Raw Banana curry with a tinge of Tamarind is the curry that my mom used to make on amavasya day.In most of the Tamil homes i am sure they would make Vazhaikkai(raw banana) in a slightly different style.This one is perfect accompaniment for sambar or pitlai.

Mmm... looks so delicious! I'm glad you're using coconut oil for most of your recipes. I love it and will definitely try this recipe soon!
I *love* your recipes and am dying to try this. But I'm not South Indian and am not quite sure what you mean by "raw banana." Raw, in English, simply means uncooked.
Do you mean green banana (unripened)?
Or perhaps it is what is known as a plantain, which is what the picture looks like and which is starchy and never sweetens when fully ripe.
Please help me, as I can't wait to try this!
yummy. Its lunch time here and you are making me feel more hungry.
so tasty
Yes Mrrphh it is unripened banana.
