In this summer, I decided to make some Green banana powder. What is the use of green banana powder, you may wonder.
Green banana powder (raw banana powder) has several health benefits. I was shocked to know the humble banana's health benefits and why we should include it in our diet. I usually make main curries and side dishes with raw bananas, without knowing its numerous health benefits. I, of course, knew it was good for health.
When I came to know its health benefits I decided to make the powder and keep ready at home for immediate needs.
First, let us see how to make the Green Banana Powder.
Select good variety of raw banana. Wash it. Peel the skin. (If you wish you can remove the whole skin instead of peeling it.)
Cut it into small pieces and dry it in the sun or use a drier, if you have one at home.
The dried raw banana pieces can be preserved in an airtight container as it is, or powder it and keep, for months together.
How to use the powder
The banana powder can be used for thickening the curry.
It can be used while making chapatis, by adding 1 sp. banana powder to 1 cup of wheat floor.
It can be added in hot milk or hot water for a drink.
