Bring water to a boil. Add the turmeric powder, tamarind, salt, and chopped raw banana. Cook until the raw banana is just tender. Drain the water completely and set aside.

️ Grind the shallots, garlic, cumin seeds, pepper, chilli powder, asafoetida, grated coconut, turmeric powder, and a little water to a coarse paste.

️ Heat coconut oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, urad dal, and curry leaves. Let the mustard splutter and the urad dal turn golden.

️ Add the cooked raw banana and sauté gently for 2–3 minutes.

️ Add the ground masala and mix well. Cook on medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raw smell disappears and the masala coats the raw banana evenly.
