I tried this, I tried that, I tried everything I could, under the sky - to keep everyone happy, but it didn’t happen. Gave up 9-5 job and started working from home to keep mum-in-law happy…okay that was 9-9, but then that’s how it is with everyone. Stopped shopping – to keep Hubby happy, cooked alien food everyday to keep little S happy…… but there’s always a gap! However hard you try there is still that little something that you have missed and that’s where everyone points at! So I gave up trying and did today what would make me happy. Yes, that is what I did whole of today. I did a hair treatment at home-one that I have been yearning to do since long, went to the parlor to get a facial (!), cooked what I like to eat, and didn’t take S’s studies. And I realized that all my stress comes from making him do his lessons!
Since I did everything for myself today, I decided to cook the dish with raw banana peels, I loved as a child. Who doesn’t know we Bengalis have a penchant for all discards! We cook and relish the peels of literally every vegetable!
Love it I did, but never tried my hands at it before today. So tringgg! Went a call to the sleepy town of Durgapur, and as always MOM did her bit, by helping with the recipe. Here goes….
Korma from raw banana skin
What you’ll need:
Green plantain skin: I used 2 bananas
Potato: 1 medium diced
Onion seeds/ Black Nigella seeds/kalojire: 1/2 tsp
Cumin powder: 1 tsp
Coriander prd: 1 tsp
Garam masala pdr: 1 tsp
Ginger paste : 1 tsp
Tomato : paste of one small
Tomato : paste of one small
Salt : ½ tsp
Turmeric: ½ tsp`
Oil: 2 tsp
How you’ll do it:
Step 1: separateThick peels from the bananas.Peel off the green outer layer, from the peels, the fibres will have to be removed like this.
Step 2: Lightly steam the peels
Step 3: Make a paste of the boiled banana peels
Step 4: Heat oil in a wok and throw in the nigella (kalojire/onion) seeds.
Step 5: Throw in the diced potatoes, stir and cover.
Step 6: Add the cumin, coriander , GM powder, ginger & tomato paste, salt and turmeric. Stir well and cover.
Step 7: Add the peel paste, mix nicely and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes and remove from heat. Keep sprinkling water if you feel that it is sticking to the pan. Done ! Great with roti or dal-rice, either way. This quantity will be sufficient for 2.
