The gluten-free fruit can be used to prepare a variety of delicacies. Vijesh Modi, Senior Sous Chef at The Deltin, Daman, suggests a vegan recipe, which is ideal not just for Navratri fasting but also for regular meals.Pan-cooked, crunchy raw banana cutlets Ingredients2 small raw bananas

1 teaspoon dried mint leaves
Himalayan salt (sendha namak)
