In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds; let them sizzle.

Stir in the chopped onion, sauté until translucent, then add minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant.

Add the sliced green bananas, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Sauté for 5 minutes, allowing the bananas to absorb the spices.
