Banana Salad

A yummy sweet ‘n sour salad with extra crunch.
Serves four

Ingredients :

Firm, ripe plantains (nendran pazham) – 2
Shallots, big sized – 10 to 12, finely sliced
Green chillies, chopped – 2
Vinegar – 2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Roasted peanuts – 2 tbsp, optional
Coriander or mint leaves, chopped – for garnish, optional

Method :

Quarter the ripe bananas lengthwise. Cut into one cm thick chunks. Mix the sliced shallots, green chillies, vinegar and salt in a bowl. Toss the cut banana pieces in this dressing. Mix till the banana chunks are well-coated. For a hint of crunch, add roasted peanuts. Stir well. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped coriander or mint leaves.
