    I had few raw banana lying in the fridge, i wanted to use them in a different recipe other than poriyal, podimas, fry or my favorite podi fry. So i decided to try a chukka fry recipe but in a jain style without using onions and garlic..It tasted so good and i served it with paruppu rasam, vallarai keerai kootu. Will share both the recipes soon. So hope you give this a try and let me know how it turns out..
