"From: "The Vegetarian Epicure" by Anna Thomas, first edition 1972. This book was a real find! You may want to add a touch of orange, lemon or lime juice to the mashed banana."

Great spice mix. The mashed bananas made it a bit soupy. Next time I'll just cut up the bananas into chunks. -
I just smashed banana with my knife. It was really good. I think the balance of spice is the key.

Nice raita - but the bananas being mashed did make it rather slimy. Great taste though and mine was hot!! -
Great raita! I liked the sweetness of it and its so easy to make so I'll be keeping this recipe! Thanks. -
Interesting. This is very new to me, I wasn't quite sure what to do with it, so we just ate a little bowl between courses. I think I would try it again over chilled boiled potatoes, with the spices stepped up just a little.

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
