This is a spicy side with raw banana / plantains. Plantains are parboiled with salt and turmeric powder. Then are mixed with roasted spices. This is the most flavourful , aromatic side with plantains I have ever tasted. It pairs well with rasam rice, curd rice and sambar rice. I finished eating half bowl of this curry immediately after I was done with cooking. No one can resist the aroma of this curry. It is super flavourful !
