Amma used to give us
steamed bananas when we were little. Whenever she makes puttu, she will add cut
bananas along with the coconut inside the steamer and cook it. We used to fight
for that steamed banana pieces. Specially
the ripe plantain(a variety of banana) which gets more tasty when it is
steamed. They are not only tasty but so healthy. I have heard that they mash up
steamed banana and feed toddlers. This makes them chubby and healthy.
