Another delicious and super-easy recipe to turn Plantain into a more-ish and intriguing dish that goes beautifully with an Indian-themed meal or as a snack with a beer on a summer evening.
Fried Plantain (Kela) Slices
1 large Plantain
1/2 cup water
1/2 dsp turmeric
1 dsp red chilli powder
Salt - about 1 tsp
Heat the above in a large pan with the Plantain slices in a single layer. Cover the pan and simmer in this masala until the liquid is almost all gone. Never add more liquid.Add 1/4 tbsp tamarind paste and tip the pan till all the Plantain slices have touched it. Be gentle with the slices.
Heat 1 cup oil in a large flat pan.
Add1 tsp black mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp asafoetida (if you don't have it, leave it out)
1 cup curry leaves
Garlic to taste
Cook for a while till the smell fills the kitchen. Add the Plantain slices; do not cover them now. Lower the heat to a steady simmer. Turn when brown, fry both sides. Whn crisp on the outside but still soft in the middle they're ready to serve.
