I first tasted this dish along with Kanji / rice porridge for my first Good Friday after marriage. In my place, Good Friday meant going to church in the morning and we'll be back by around 10 am and then have a sumptuous sadya in plantain leaf! But things changed after marriage .. in my hubby's place Good Friday is a full day activity at church which included an almost full day of fasting. I was tired...but there was no choice...So I waited and by around 4 pm they served hot hot kanji in mankalam along with this tasty raw banana-cow bean dish along with some mango pickle and pappad. Don't know if it was my tiredness or hunger...but whole meal tasted absolutely delicious!
