My neighbor gifted us with a ton of bananas from her tree yesterday and I was searching for something savory to do with them. I came across this recipe and I’m SO glad I did.
I made a few substitutions because I didn’t have whole cumin, asafetida or the amchoor. Instead I used ground cumin, diced garlic and 2 small, chopped green mangos from our tree. I omitted the extra water since the mango had its own water.
It turned out absolutely delicious. I served it with plain white rice, though jasmine rice would have been delicious, as well.
Very easy to make and very budget friendly too. This will be going in my regular rotation!
