Peel the raw bananas and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Soak them in water to prevent discoloration.
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them splutter.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.
Stir in the green chilies and curry leaves, allowing their flavors to infuse for about 2 minutes.
Drain the raw banana cubes and add them to the pan. Stir well to coat them with the onion and spice mixture.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder over the bananas. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Pour in the coconut milk and season with salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and let the bananas cook until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the bananas are cooked through, adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the Nut-Free Raw Banana Curry hot, paired with rice or flatbread.
