HOW TO MAKE MINT SAUCE?
METHOD
FOR BANANA BASE
Cut the raw banana into two or three pieces and put them in boiling for about 10 minutes with little salt. No need to remove skin before boiling as it helps in enacting more banana flavor into it.
Once boiled, cool and remove the skin and grate the boiled raw banana.
Add chili powder and salt and give it a nice mix. In this if you are preferring crispness more I suggest adding bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs or you can add little rice flour which is gluten free and also helps in giving crispiness to the product.
Once mixed, rest in freezer for about 5 minutes before frying.
Heat the oil aside and roll the banana mixture in your preferred way like burritos sheets or taco shells or even cups and fry them till golden fry and remove the excess oil.
FOR THE VEGETABLES
Cut all the vegetables into thin slices and add lemon juice and black pepper powder and salt and rest it for about 5 minutes which releases the water from the vegetables.
