Ava Arati koora - Banana Curry

This is one of my favourite 'Ava' curries next to kanda bachali. This recipe again is a typical andhra dish. Basically banana also when cooked is a little sticky so the 'Ava' ting gives it a good punch.

Ingridients:-
Raw Banana - 2
Mustard seeds - 3 tbspn
Green chillies - 5-6
Curry leaves

1. Peel the banana nicely. Pressure cook them as whole for 2 whistles. Take them out and mash them well. Alternatively you can, even cut the banana into small peices and then pressure cook as well, if you do not like it mashed.
2. Grind the mustard seeds and green chillies with little water.
3. Take some oil in a pan and season with chana daal, urad daal, mustard seeds and hing. Then add curry leaves.
4. Now add the cooked banana to this. Fry for a min
5. now add the mustard paste prepared and add salt. Mix well. Let it cook for 5 mins and take off from heat.

Serve with hot rice and papad.
