A very tasty dish which goes well with rice for a filling meal. It is a sweet preparation as ripe plantain will contribute some sweetness to it and as curd is also added a little sourness also will be felt. I used to make a similar dish using raw plantain and I wanted something new with a new ingredient but less spicy as my hubby loves such curries. So I was searching and got few recipes out of which I just did a mix match and cooked this way which turned good. So I thought why not share it so that others can also try. I am sure your kids also will love it as its non spicy .
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
- Ripe plantain -1

- Shallots/Pearl onions- 4
- Curd- 1/4 cup (You can substitute with the same quantity buttermilk for more flavor. If so add it in the end and do not grind it together with coconut)

How to Prepare:
Step 1: Slice the ripe plantain and cook it in one cup water till it turns yellow.
Step 2: Grind grated coconut with green chillies ,cumin seeds and turmeric powder. Add curd and grind to a smooth mixture. Add it to the cooked plantain. Add the required salt and allow to cook.
