#cookingwithcoconut - This is a simple, easy and a traditional Kerala recipe, where raw banana is cooked with fresh coconut. It is tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, red chilli and raw rice for a delicious flavour. This happens to be one of the items in the Onam Sadya meal, and is relished as a side dish.
