Ingredients
For the Rosty
- 2 Banana peeled and grated, raw
- 1 tsp Peppercorn black, crushed
- 1 Chili Pepper finely chopped, green
- 2 tbsp Peanut crushed, roasted, salted
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 2-3 tbsp Olive Oil as needed, or other cooking oil
For the Sour Cream
- 1 cup Heavy Cream fresh
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
For Garnishing
- Parsley chopped, fresh, sprig
Instructions
Prepare the Raw Banana Mixture
- Peel and grate the raw bananas. In a bowl, combine the grated bananas, crushed peppercorns, finely chopped green chili, crushed roasted peanuts, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Cook the Rosty
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a spoonful of the banana mixture to the pan, flattening it slightly to form a small patty.
- Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping carefully when needed. Repeat with the remaining banana mixture.
Make the Sour Cream
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and slightly thickened. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Serve
- Serve the hot raw banana rostis immediately with a dollop of chilled sour cream, garnished with a fresh parsley sprig.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of turmeric powder or cumin powder to the banana mixture.
- If you don't have roasted peanuts, you can use any other nut of your choice, such as cashews or almonds.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. For a milder rosti, use less chili.
- For a crispier rosti, ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the banana mixture, and don't overcrowd the pan.
