Source:- online- posted by shriya

I used to make normal palya(fry) with plantain and it was not that great taste. Finally found one masala spicy recipe that very well goes with dal and rice. We ( I and my Hubby) relished it so much.

Ingredients:

• Plantain : 2
• Onion: 1
• Tomato: 1
• Ginger : 1″
• Garlic : 2-3
• Red Chili Powder : 2 tbsp
  
• Salt : required to taste

Method:-

1. Cut the plantain into two and pressure cook them for one whistle.
2. Peel the skin and cut the plantain into small cubes. Keep them aside.
3. Heat oil in a pan add chopped onion fry them till it becomes soft and add the tomatoes fry them for few more minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let it cool.
5. Grind them along with ginger and garlic in to a paste
   
6. Heat oil a pan and add the above grounded paste and fry for some time.
   
7. And add salt and red chili powder and fry them till it becomes dry .
8. Now add the plantain cubes and mix it gently with the masala .
9. Fry them till it becomes crispier in a medium heat for about 20 to 25 minutes.
10. Serve it hot with rice

Point 9 is very imp. cook it a medium flame for atleast 25 mins
