Pan Grilled Raw Banana | Vazhakkai Tawa roast | Artikaya Roast


Share with friends and family

 Raw bananas are relished in many ways and mostly enjoyed by all . I am sure banana chips will top everyone's list if asked in what way they like to have raw banana .  Let me tell you, if you try this recipe of grilling raw banana slices you will keep asking for more and someone who doesn't like raw bananas will also start loving it . 


These marinated slices of raw banana pair well with sambar rice ,rasam rice,  milagakuzhambu and the evergreen curd rice . My blogger friend Preethi's blog has a traditional andhra recipe Palak Koora Pappu with which this artikaaya roast will be a classic combo .

Not only as an accompaniment, you may even serve these are starters along with some tomato chutney and they will be a hit at your parties or get togethers. 

A little time consuming as we need to have a lot of patience for the slices to be perfectly grilled ,but the end result is soulful and satisfying.
