Globally, riped banana is consumed as a fruit, in a smoothie, a pancake, and a cake. Similarly, raw banana is had in the form of chips or subji. Today, I am sharing a recipe of banana kaap, a Konkani staple.
Ingredients:
- Oil: as required
- Raw green banana: 2 big sliced
- Chili powder: 2 tbsp
- Turmeric powder: ½ tbsp
- Semolina: as required tsp
Preparation: Slice the banana as shown in the image. Rub salt and keep aside for an hour or so.
Method:
- The sliced banana leaves water when rubbed with salt. Mix chili powder, turmeric, and salt with that water and make a thick slurry. It should not be too watery.
- Apply this paste evenly to all the banana slices.
- Dip these coated slices in semolina.
- Immediately transfer these slices to a heated pan.
- Keep adding oil depending on how crispy you want to have your kaap.
- Serve it with hot daal rice.
Nutrition: Raw banana is a rich source of dietary fiber, Vit B6 and Vit C, and potassium. So without much worry hogg on this snack!!
Tip: Apply salt an hour before frying as the salt enters the slices and enhances the taste.
