Raw Banana Cutlets

Not everyone likes raw banana (plantain), but it can be put to numerous uses, since it is a rich source of vitamins and minerals. Additionally green banana is a good source of resistance starch, which is not broken down by the body and acts like fiber. It also contains vitamin B6, which plays an important role in the formation of hemoglobin.

Fiber is essential for the good health of your digestive system.

Let's get back to the recipe. Raw banana can be put to many uses.

Today, I made raw banana tikki/cutlets. Better to call it tikki since I used only 1 tbsp of oil while the recipe called for deep frying. Another experiment from my healthy kitchen.

Raw Banana Cutlets Ingredients:

2 raw bananas (boiled and grated)
1/2 boiled potato (boiled)
1/2 onion
1-2 green chillies
1 tsp garlic-ginger paste
1/4 tsp- haldi
1/2 tsp jeera
1 tsp rice flour or suji
1 tbsp oats
1 tsp coriander powder
coriander leaves
salt as per taste

Procedure
Mix everything well. Make a big ball. Refrigerate for 10 minutes
Take out and make small balls. Flatten the balls like a tikki.
Take a non stick pan/ tawa (I used a tawa). Grease it with 1 tbsp oil..
Place the tikkis on the skillet (tawa). Keep on low flame.
Cover with a plate. Keep checking every 5 minutes. Rotate side when 1 side is done.
Took me 10-12 mins approx (may take you longer depending on the quantity)

Soaking turns pumpkin seeds water green | Is it SAFE?

Pumpkin seeds cause water to develop a green tint mainly because they contain chlorophyll, the natural pigment that gives plants their green color. This phenomenon occurs through several interconnected processes that involve the seed's cellular structure and pigment composition. Raw pumpkin seeds, particularly the hulled green varieties commonly known as pepitas, contain significant amounts of chlorophyll. This is the same compound responsible for photosynthesis in plants and creates the distinctive green appearance in leaves, stems, and other plant tissues. The chlorophyll concentration in pumpkin seeds is naturally high since these seeds develop within the green interior of the pumpkin. When pumpkin seeds are soaked in water, their cellular walls begin to soften and break down gradually. This process allows water molecules to penetrate the seed structure and extract various compounds, including pigments. Although chlorophyll isn't completely water-soluble in its pure chemica...
