Plantain Masala Fry
Plantains tend to be firmer and lower in sugar content than dessert bananas. Bananas are most often eaten raw, while plantains usually require cooking or other processing, and are used either when green or under-ripe (and therefore starchy) or overripe (and therefore sweet). In south India plantain leaves are used like plates for serving food. In Kerala, a food preparation called “Ada” is made in plantain leaves. – (Wikipedia)
This is the first time I’ve made Plantain curry after my marriage. I love plantain my mother use to make lots of dishes using Plantain. After my mother-in-law visited us this summer our food habit changed a lot. Finally we are eating a lot of vegetables now  🙂 . She used to make this fry with her own magical touch. I got the recipe from her and it came out really good.
Ingredients:
- Plantain : 2
- Onion: 1
- Tomato: 1
- Ginger : 1″
- Garlic : 2-3
- Red Chili Powder : 2 tbsp (according to your spice level)
- Salt : required to taste
Method Of Preparation :
- Cut the plantain into two and pressure cook them for one whistle.
- And peel the skin and cut the plantain into small circles. Keep them aside.
- Heat oil in a pan add chopped onion fry them till it becomes soft and add the tomatoes fry them for few more minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool.
- After that grind them with ginger and garlic in to a paste.
- Heat oil a pan add the above ground paste fry them for about 4 to 5 minutes.
- And add salt and red chili powder and fry them till it becomes dry .
- Now add the plantain and mix it gently with the masala .
