Ingredients..
2 Raw plantains
1 tbsp kasuri methi
½ tsp mustard
½ tsp cumin
1 pinch asafoetida or hing
1/8 tsp turmeric or haldi
salt as needed
4 Onions finely chopped
1 tbsp Tomato pure
1 ½ tsp GG paste
½ tsp red chili powder
1 tsp mutton masala
½ tsp garam masala
preparation......
Wash, peel plantains . Cut them into squares . Make sure the skin has been removed completely. keep these squares in water to avoid black in color.
Boil them along with little salt and cook until half done.
Heat kadhai with oil and crackle cumin and mustard.
Add hing, onions saute until the onions turn slightly golden brown . Add tomato pure, ginger garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes off.
Add all dry spices along with salt stir and saute until the tomatoes turn mushy.
Pour ½ cup water to the masala and stir well. Add boiled plantains cook until the mixture turns to a thick gravy like.
You can add more water if you like a moist curry. I made this to a dry raw masala as we say kassa.
Cover and cook for just 5 more minutes The plantain must cook completely but not mushy. We prefer a dry curry, so I evaporate all the water by cooking for 5 mins. extra.
Serve as a side dish with rice or any type of Indian bread.
