This raw-banana curry is typically Tanjore style....Raw bananas are cooked in water till they are soft (but not mushy) and then tossed in coconut oil, with some seasonings. "குழசல்" in tamil means, very soft, almost mushy. This curry goes very well with sambar and rasam. Please check my other South Indian Curries
Here are 2  different varieties of raw banana curry:
1. Raw banana podimas
2. Raw banana stir fry
Please check my Glossary for any unknown terms
