Raw Banana Paratha

Raw Banana Paratha , sounds interesting right ? It is really relishing as well as healthy recipe. Fruits are a powerhouse of nutrients equally both in its raw and ripe form.

Raw Banana is mainly used as a substitute of Potato in Jain families, because they don,t eat Potato and onion.It tastes like Potato. I have used onion in this recipe, but you can skip it if you don,t want it. I always try variety in Paratha and shared many unique recipes of Paratha earlier which were liked very much.

I hope you like this one as well. Banana used in this recipe should be completely raw. So, let us start the amazing recipe.
