Kanchakalar Khosha Bata | A Traditional Bengali Raw Banana Peel Chutney

Steps

1. 1To begin the preparation of Kanchakalar Khosha Bata, pressure cook the 2 raw bananas until soft. Once cooked, peel the skin. For this recipe we will be using the cooked and peeled skin and not the banana pulp (you can proceed to make a recipe that you like from it).
2. 2Blend the banana peel and the remaining ingredients into a smooth paste. Transfer to a bowl and keep aside.
3. 3In a small pan; add the mustard oil. Once the oil is heated; add in the kalonji and the dry red chillies. Sauté on medium flame until the red chilies are roasted and browned. At this stage add in the peel paste and sauté on low heat for 2 to three minutes until the raw smell goes away.
4. 4Serve the spicy and delicious Kanchakalar Khosha Bata with hot steamed rice.
