Thank you for reading my blog... These kerala or Nendra Banana is bit different from the usual ones. It is bit harder, has got a slightly orange color inside and a particular flavor which the other bananas are not having. Once when I couldn't get these, I have tried making this Phodi or Bhujias with the smaller, normally getting bananas, but the taste as well as flavor differed a lot and I couldn't get even the near-taste!!. These are big and heavy and we get just 4 or 5 in one Kg. (for INR. 50 to 60 at Mangalore).
And now about the peals... I have not tried any recipe so far. But I am not throwing the peals of any bananas. These are rich in phosphorus, magnesium and other nutrients. So I cut them neatly and mix with used tea leaves or egg shells which makes a good quality' home made manure for my plants.:)
You may get some recipes in YouTube, I think...
