Method

1
Get ready by washing and peeling the raw bananas. Cut them into small batons. Peel and thinly slice the shallots, then peel and crush the garlic. Break the dry red chillies and rinse the curry leaves. Pat the curry leaves dry so they do not splutter in hot oil.
2
Add the banana, water, salt and turmeric powder to a kadai. Cover and cook on medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the banana is just tender and the water has dried. Transfer the cooked banana to a bowl.
