I love to make dishes like this, i have one version of this using potatoes. These dry curry are so flavourful and mild, which is a perfect sidedish with any spicy curries. I made my favorite karakulambu to serve with this.

I used my rice cooker, to steam the banana for this. Many people raise me questions to show recipes which uses rice cooker and what all stuff we can do in a rice cooker. 
This is what i do, i have a steamer basket which came along with my rice cooker. I use that to steam veggies when i am cooking rice in that. So two job get done in one time. 
Enough with that tip, try this and let me know what you think..

Preparation Time : 10 mins (includes cooking banana)
Cooking Time : 10 mins
Serves – 2 to 3

Ingredients:
Raw Banana – 2 large ones
Onion – 1 chopped finely
Green Chilli – 3 chopped finely ( Or to taste)
Ginger – 1 tblspn minced
Curry leaves – 5 chopped finely
Coconut – 1/2 cup grated
Salt to taste
For Seasonings:
Coconut Oil – 2 tblspn
Mustard Seeds / Kaduku – 1 tsp
Urad dal / Ulundu paruppu – 1 tsp
Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam – 1 tsp
Dry Red Chilli – 2

Method:
Take Raw Banana, cut them top and bottom off, Put them in a steamer, i used my rice cooker and steam them for 10 mins till they are soft.Let them cool a bit.Peel them and mash them.
Now heat oil in a sauce pan, add in mustard, urad dal, cumin, red chilli and let them sizzle for a min.
Add in onions and saute for a min.
Add in green chilli, curry leaves, ginger and saute for a min.
Add in salt and toss well.
Add in the mashed banana and give a good mix.Saute for 5 mins, so it gets coated with all the spices.
Add in coconut and give one final mix. Switch off them flame.
Serve with rice and curry.
