ARATIKAYA (Raw Banana) PICKLE

Aratikaya (Raw Banana) Pickle is a flavorful South Indian condiment made from raw bananas. The bananas are typically peeled, chopped, and sautéed with a blend of spices like mustard seeds, fenugreek, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Some recipes include garlic or tamarind to enhance the flavor. The mixture is then soaked in oil, which helps preserve the pickle and intensifies the spices. Aratikaya pickle has a tangy, spicy, and slightly bitter flavor from the raw bananas. It pairs well with rice, roti, or paratha, offering a deliciously unique addition to any meal.
