Tips & Tricks
Apply oil on your palms and knife before peeling raw banana to avoid stickiness. Immediately put the pieces in salted/turmeric water to avoid blackening and to reduce rawness.
Start frying on high heat for a minute to lock texture, then reduce to medium.
A dash of coconut + coriander at the end gives a South Indian touch.
For a Maharashtrian style, sprinkle godha masala or kanda-lasun masala before finishing
