As our recipe is pulusu, Andhra style pulusu is always made by adding tamarind pulp so let’s make it first.

In a vessel put tamarind and add sufficient water and keep aside to soak.

Take another vessel, pour water and add salt so that we can put sliced banana.

Cut edges of banana and remove the skin. Slice them into circular shapes.

In a pan heat oil and add fenugreek seeds, chana dal, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, green chillies, dry red chillies and crushed garlic.

Add onions, tomatoes, curry leaves, salt and turmeric powder. Mix and cook for a minute.

Sprinkle red chilli powder, garam Masala and coriander powder.

Add banana slices, mix and close the lid. Cook for 5 minutes.

Remove lid and pour tamarind pulp, adequate water, curry leaves and jaggery to compensate sourness.

Cook further with lid covered till bananas turn soft.

Garnish with coriander leaves and serve Raw Banana Pulusu with steam rice or chapatti.
