Raw banana kootu is super easy to make but taste so delicious. This particular recipe is from my grandma. She gave me the recipe and i made it immediately the next day. It tasted very similar to raw banana kootu and even better.

The banana variety used in this recipe is nendran banana, It is also called as kerala banana. This banana variety is used in making chips. Check this link for banana chips recipe.

Raw banana(nendran) skin has so much meat and less fibrous texture than regular banana. So you can chop them and use in recipes. You can make thoran using the same method too. But use less water and cook till moong dal is just cooked so it is not mushy.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know if you try it.
