Do you need to submerge chopped banana skin in water?

Raw banana peel soaked in water helps to remove any unpleasant bitterness.

Can I use unripe bananas?

No. The bananas should be ripe. Brown banana skins are ideal for this banana skin chutney. I recommend using organic banana peels.

Begin by submerging the brown banana peels in cold water for one hour, making sure to change the water twice within that time frame. Then, drain the water.
Transfer the peels to a saucepan with fresh water and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes before draining it again and allowing it to cool.
Once cooled, roughly dice the peels into small fragments.
Next, warm the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the onion, chillies, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the mustard seeds, curry powder, star anise, brown sugar, the diced banana peel, and one chopped banana.
After a few minutes, pour in the orange juice and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes until it reaches a jam-like consistency.
Transfer the final product into sterilised jars and store them in the refrigerator for a maximum of one month.

You can use a neutral oil such as vegetable or sunflower if you don’t want to use coconut oil.
