I had this post languishing in my drafts for a long time now and so I thought it was a good idea to post it before I loose track of it. I love all types of vegetables, but there are some that I love even more eg, cabbage and raw banana/plantain.
I learnt this recipe from my MIL, she prepared the first time when I was expecting. I am not sure if it was the hormones or the raw banana, but I ended up eating ¾ of this all by myselfJ. This goes very well with yogurt rice and with some daal on the side. I swear I could live on the combination for years without complaining.
Ingredients
- 2 medium raw (plantains)
- Curry leaves
- 1 Tbsp urad daal
- Asafetida
- Cumin seeds(jeera)
- Mustard seeds
- 2 tsp Turmeric
- Coriander leaves for garnishing
- Oil
- salt
To make powder
- 2-3 dried red chillies
- 1 Tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 Tbsp of raw dry tamarind (not paste)
Preparation:
- Peel the raw banana and cut them into discs.
- Dry roast the ingredients for dry masala and grind it to a fine powder. (If the tamarind is roasted, even that will turn into powder along with red chillies and coriander seeds).
Method:
- Heat a heavy bottomed pan, and then add oil, jeera, mustard, curry leaves.
- Add asafetida, then the urad daal and fry until it turns golden brown. Add the cut banana discs, salt and continue to fry.
- Add the masala powder and sprinkle of water in between, and fry. Once in a while add oil also as it makes it crispy and tasty.
- When it is done, it should be both cooked and crispy at the same time. Garnish with coriander leaves.
