Aratikaya kura

Aratikaya kura or artikai kura is a traditional dry curry originating from Tamil Nadu. This dry curry is usually made with a combination of green bananas, coconut, turmeric, chickpea flour, oil or ghee, cloves, ginger-garlic paste, onions, chili peppers, and salt. The bananas are cooked with their skin on until soft, then cooled, peeled, and cut into pieces. The grated coconut is mixed with turmeric, salt, and gram flour. The cloves and garlic paste are stir-fried in ghee or oil, along with the onions and hot peppers. The banana pieces and coconut mixture are added near the end of cooking and shortly fried before the dish is served. It's recommended to serve aratikaya kura with steamed rice or Indian flatbreads.
