Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 3 Raw bananas (peeled); 3 tbsp. Sesame oil or normal oil; 1/2 tsp. Mustard seeds; 1/2 tsp. Cumin seeds; 1/2 tsp. Hing or Asafoetida powder; 1-2 Dried red chillies; 6-7 Curry leaves; 1 tsp. urad dal; 1 tbsp. crushed ginger garlic; 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder; 2 tsp. Coriander powder; 1 tsp. Normal red chilli powder; 2 tsp. Kashmiri red chilli powder; 1/2 tsp. black pepper powder; Salt (to taste)

Instructions

Peel three raw bananas and cut them in disk like shapes with a thickness of around half a centimeter

Make sure to place the raw banana pieces in water while cutting to prevent them from browning due to oxidation
Now drain the water and to this add half a teaspoon of turmeric powder, 2 teaspoons of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of normal red chili powder, 2 teaspoons of kashmiri red chilli powder, half a teaspoon of black pepper powder and salt to taste
Mix thoroughly

Set a pan on medium heat and add three tablespoons of sesame oil. If you don’t have sesame oil you can use either normal cooking oil or even coconut oil
Add half a teaspoon of mustard seeds, half a teaspoon of cumin seeds, two dried red chilies, one teaspoon of black gram or urad dal, 10 to 12 curry leaves and some hing or asafoetida powder
Stir fry for 10 to 15 seconds

Once the seeds start to splutter add 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste.
Saute these for around 30 seconds and then add in the raw banana pieces
Mix the pieces well with the ginger garlic paste and the other spices and try to spread out the pieces as much as you can on your pan

Sprinkle around 2 tablespoons of water and place the lid on let this cook on low heat for around 5 minutes
We want to make sure that the pieces haven’t stuck to the bottom of the pan and we also want to check if the pieces are completely cooked through
If they don‘t look like they are cooked through yet, add a little more water and place the lid on once again

Add salt to taste
Sprinkle another tablespoon of sesame oil and fry the pieces till the masalas are nicely toasted and the plantain pieces have a beautiful coating
Keep stir frying the pieces for around 10 to 15 minutes on medium heat till the pieces have a nice dark golden brown color

Let’s finish up with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for some extra kick
