Heat oil in pan and add urad dal. When the dal turns pinkish add mustard seeds,asafoetida,green chilles and curry leaves.

When the mustard is crackling add salt and sugar.


Salt is added in the begining so as to ensure the uniform mixing. If you add it after u put in the banana gratings it will stick to some places and it will be very difficult to mix it properly.


Now put on the grated banana, lemon juice and grated coconut. Mix and saute on low flame for about 4-5 minutes.
