#dipsandsauces - Raw Banana Peel Chutney is not commonly heard of and is generally thrown away, but It simply tastes delicious. They have the most nutrients and fiber in them. I ground the boiled peels along with onion, garlic, coriander leaves with stem and green chilies. Then I tempered with kalonji (nigella seeds) and dry red chilies.

This chutney which is a family recipe of mine, can be had with plain steamed rice, with chapatti / parathas or as a spread on bread. Another alternative is to use it as a spread on parathas along with some strips of cucumber, paneer slices, onion slices, lettuce and tomato slices and rolled up and made into a frankie for a great lunch box meal.
