Hi Aarthi,
Did try this..the taste was good, but color was very mild was not appealing like yours.
2. The banana pieces and the masala dint stick to each other well.
Any advice?

@JThere may be two reason, one you haven't cooked banana well. Or you didn't add water before adding the spices

Most of the spices have never heard of where do I find them I would love to make some of your recipes but I would need to go on a spice buying trip first.
