Raw Banana Fry is a quick, healthy, and delicious South Indian specialty made from green plantains tossed in aromatic spices. This simple dish is celebrated for its wonderful texture—the banana slices are shallow-fried until they develop a crisp golden exterior while remaining soft and slightly sweet inside. It is seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and a touch of black pepper, offering a warm and savory profile that is highly satisfying. This nutritious preparation is a staple in everyday meals across Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It is packed with potassium and fiber, making it a wholesome addition to your table. Best served hot with sambar-rice or as a crunchy side with dal.

Tips & Secrets
- Using coconut oil is the secret to getting that authentic and aromatic South Indian flavor for this dish.
- Always slice the bananas uniformly; if they vary in thickness, some will burn while others remain raw.
- Keep the sliced bananas in water until the moment you fry them to prevent them from turning black and unappealing.
- Adding a small amount of rice flour to the seasoning can make the exterior of the banana slices extra crunchy.
