Rice and Curry in Banana Leaves
Since banana leaves are clean, chemical free and edible, they are used in cooking. Food can be grilled, steamed and deep fried in them, all you have to do is wrap the food in them. Even the Gujaratis use banana leaves for cooking.
Panki, a traditional Gujarati Rice flour snack, is made by two methods combined. The savory rice batter is spread between the leaves and then the leaves are kept over a hot pan till the panki is cooked. Panki can have many variations like corn panki or green peas panki.
