Summer in Bangalore this year is relenting. So I put my 2nd recipe in Raita series today. Raw banana is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is
also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Potassium and Manganese,
and a very good source of Vitamin B6.
There are two type of banana available in Bangalore - Robusta and yalakki. Yalakki type is more nutritious according to my son's pediatrician. Hence I used it and blend it with the raita style to make this recipe.
Preparation Time: - 5 min
Preparation Time: - 5 min
Cooking Time: - 5 min
Servings: - 2~3 persons
Ingredients:-
1. 1 medium sized Banana (2 if you use Yalakki Banana).
2. 1 cup whisked curd (dahi) or yogurt. If you are calorie conscious then you should use low-fat curd, made from fat-free milk.
3. 1 ½ tsp roasted Jeera/cumin powder.
4. 1 tsp Black Pepper ( This is for spice lovers- you can even use green chili or red chili powder )
5. 1 tbsp chopped mint leaves
6. 8 Raisins (optional, I added this to satisfy my kid’s taste)
7. Salt to taste. Black salt is preferred.
8. Sugar to taste. If you have any sugar-related issue you can skip it.

Preparation:-
1. Whisk the curd thoroughly. If you are using thick curd/yogurt you can add a little bit of water.
2. Slice the banana and keep aside. Do not keep it for long as it will get discoloured
3. Roast cumin seeds for a few seconds in a small frying pan over high heat.
4. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl slowly so that banana pieces are not broken.
5. Garnish with Mint leaves and raisins. Kids love raisins and that is why I added them. You can skip ifyou wish it to be totally sugar free.
6. Chill in refrigerator for 15 min optionally if you want it cold.

Try it as dip or side dish. My family consumes it as dessert sometimes.
