Banana Chili Curry (Hyderabadi Chili Koora) Recipes

Ingredients :

16 banana chili peppers

3 tbsp peeled raw peanuts

1/2 tbsp sesame seeds

1/2 tbsp cumin seeds

1 tbsp coriander seeds

5 tbsp vegetable oil

2 medium onions, chopped

1 tbsp chopped ginger

Method :

Cut the banana chili peppers into slices or discs. Dry roast the peanuts and the sesame, cumin and coriander seeds. Transfer to a blender or food processor and grind to a coarse powder. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and sauté the banana chili peppers for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, sauté the onion until light brown. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Now add the powder mixture and fry for a further 2-3 minutes. Add the banana chili peppers and the tamarind pulp and stir fry for 3-5 minutes. Check the seasoning and adjust with salt if necessary. Serve hot.

This fairly dry dish originates from the princely state of Hyderabad. The house of Nizam was famous not only for its wealth, but also for its banquets. This is not a spicy dish; the banana chili peppers are used more for their flavor than their bite. Many chefs add hot chili powder to make the dish spicy, but we prefer the original version.

Serves 4 - 6
