 Another combination I am sure everyone would love to have, its a common dish in some parts of kerala , most people prefer long beans in our place, addition of raw banana's makes it more tasty & nutritious...

(May add sliced coconut pieces too , I didn't use)

Method

* Cut Raw banana's into thin pieces (lengthwise)  , wash and keep to boil with little water & salt.  (boil till the banana pieces are almost cooked)

* Add long beans and sliced coconut (if using) &Turmeric Powder ,  cook till its done , may add some water , stir in between.

* When its all cooked and no water left in the pan , make some space in the middle , add oil , when its heated add garlic first followed by sliced onion, cover with a lid for a few seconds and then

Add salt if necessary and stir to combine everything well.
