Ingredients for Raw Banana Fried Rice:
Raw Banana : It is a power house of nutrition. Loaded with fiber and vitamins it is good for health.
Cooked Rice: Rice is a part of our balanced diet since ages. Anything eaten in moderation is good for health. Depends on the way we cook rice.
Urad Dal: I like to add uraad dal for tempering as it gives a nice crunch and taste to the dish.
Mustard seeds: Loaded with Calcium and manganese, omega 3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, protein and dietary fiber. It is an integral part of our cooking.
Cumin / Jeera: It is rich in anti-oxidants and good for minor stomach ailments .
Oil: I have used Sunflower Oil. You can use any oil of your choice.
Asafoetida: Aromatic and aids digestion.
Curry Leaves: I love to add fresh curry leaves as it is very good for the stomach .
Salt : An Important Ingredient .
Achari masala / Pickle Spice: This home made spice mix adds a nice taste and flavor. Blends well with the raw banana chunks.
Chilli Flakes: I love spicy food. These chilli flakes add a nice texture and spice to the dish.
Fresh Coriander: This ingredient is not to be skipped. It enhances the taste of the dish and adds a lovely flavor to the fried rice.
Amchur Powder:Adds a slight tang to the dish. Totally Optional.
