This recipe works even with those who would normally never eat something if they knew what the ingredients were. I have many such at home! If I had to tell anyone I’m making a recipe with raw bananas, I’d surely have no takers, but keeping it as a secret ingredient and just letting everyone believe it’s a regular vegetable cutlet, I got people wondering how I got the texture and it surely tasted interestingly different! And most importantly it turned out to be a hit among fussy eaters too (now I’m often asked to repeat it even though they know the secret, everyone pretends to just keep the excitement on). I personally love cooking with raw banana and this recipe is really easy to put together. Do try it and would love to hear your feedback!
Ingredients:
2 raw bananas
2 medium sized potatoes, finely chopped
4 green chilies
1 tsp dried mango powder (amchur)

- Peel raw bananas and potatoes, steam them in pressure cooker for about 5 minutes on low flame. Let it cool to room temperature.
- When cooled, mash steamed bananas and potatoes and add dry mango powder, salt and green chilies to it. Mix well.
- Divide mixture into equal portions and make small discs or rolls of this mixture. Note: If mixture sticks to your hands, apply little oil to your hands.
