Prep 10 min Cook 15 min Serves 3 Easy

  • Saltto taste
  • Urad Dal1 tsp
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Coconut Oil1 tbsp
  • Green Banana250 g, chopped
  • Grated Coconut1/4 cup

Optional extras

  • Lemon1

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the green banana — trim, cut small and even so it cooks in one wave.

  2. 2

    Crackle the mustard seeds and dal in oil, add the curry leaves, then the vegetable; toss to coat.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook on low 8-10 minutes — no water, the vegetable steams in its own juice.

  4. 4

    Uncover, raise the heat for a minute and fold through the coconut at the very end.

  5. 5

    Finish with salt and lemon; serve as the side that quietly carries the plate.

Chef's tip

Salt at the end — early salt pulls water and turns the sabzi soupy.
