Notes
Make medium thick pieces not too thin or too thick so that it will cook through nicely.
While slicing itself transfer to a bowl of water till you marinate the valakkai.
I have used a slicer you can slice even pieces with a knife.
Keep the flame at medium high or adjust so that the raw bananas are well cooked.
