ARATIKAYA PERUGU PACHADI (RAW BANANA CURD CHUTNEY)

ARATIKAYA PERUGU PACHHADI

Raw banana curd chutney is a simple but delicious dish. Raw banana is known as aratikaya in telugu, kela in hindi. 


Aratikaya perugu pachhadi can differ from place to place. In my house we usually use tender or a little ripe bananas which can not be used to make any other dishes. I used a boiler because bananas are too tender to be cooked in a pressure cooker. 


Aratikaya perugu pachhadi or raw banana curd chutney can be served with rice, idly, dosa or chapati. The consistency of chutney depends on how much curd we mix or how tender/ripe the bananas are. If you prefer loose chutney, add more curd to it. I prefer loose chutney with tiffins and thick chutney with rice.
