KELE SAALLI UPKARI

This upkari is made of  Raw Banana peel. Normally Nendra banana peel is used to make this hing flavored Upkari. The peel itself is fleshy and the raw smell makes the upkari unique. Really it is different! My mother-in-law used to prepare this and now it is my turn to prepare her recipes.
