• Salt to taste
• Turmeric Powder / Manjal Podi - 1 tsp

Raw Banana :

Raw bananas are particularly high in Vitamin C and B6. Vitamin C is a mineral that is required for healthy skin and hair. Vitamin C boosts the immune system and contains antioxidants that protect the body from free radical damage.

Turmeric Powder:

The turmeric root is quite bitter, but has an almost citrusy taste, compared to the powder. Turmeric also has something of a sweet taste, and it is quite earthy. When you use the powder, you're unlikely to notice the texture unless you use a substantial amount, but it is somewhat gritty

Mustard Seeds :

They are used as a seasoning rather than a base flavour in many Indian dishes, and they really perk up a lentil or rice dish when fried in a little oil with curry leaves . As a result, mustard seeds are excellent for adding flavour without adding fat to your diet.
