Did you know? A Bengali alternative to potato tikkis. Raw bananas are a staple in East Indian "shukto" dishes, valued for their resistant starch. Mustard oil adds pungency and preserves the tikkis—a technique from Odia temple kitchens. In Assam, they’re wrapped in banana leaves and steamed as "koldil bhaji." Street vendors near Kolkata’s Howrah Bridge serve them with gondhoraj lemon chutney!
