This recipe i learnt from my grand maa. When i was a small kid after making banana chips my paatty (grand maa) used to make thoran or subji with the peeled skin of plantain banana or nendran kaya tholi without fail. This subji is my grand maa’s one of the favorite dish.   Do not use any other varitey of banana skin to make this thoran . This thoran is one of the simple traditional village type subji.
