  • Tamarind extract – 2 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Water – 1 ½ cups or as required for gravy
  • Oil – 2 tablespoon
  • Salt – To taste

For the ‘Masala’-

  • Freshly grated coconut – 1/2 cup
  • Cumin seeds – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Coriander seeds – 1 teaspoon
  • Cloves – 2
  • Dry red chilly – 2-3

How to make Kele Koddel

  • To begin with this recipe, first we need to boil the bananas (With skin) in sufficient water till they turn soft, but not mushy. Remove the skin carefully and cut the flesh into bite size pieces. Keep aside.
  • Next, we need to dry roast the coconut in a pan. Transfer to a plate and roast the remaining ingredients under ‘Masala’ category.
  • Combine all these roasted ingredients in a mixer and blend with some water to make a paste. You can keep this paste ‘Slightly coarse’. It gives a nice texture to the gravy.
  • Now, heat oil in a pan. Add turmeric powder and the above masala paste. Saute for few minutes or till the raw smell goes.
  • Add tamarind pulp, water and let it come to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and remove from heat.
  • Our basic curry is ready and now we need to temper it.
  • For this, heat oil in another pan and all the ingredients. When the garlic turns golden in color, switch off the flame and pour this tempering over the curry.
  • Cover the pan immediately to retain the flavors of the tempering.

‘Kele koddel’ is ready.
