Plantain fritters and upkari also tawa fry are what i usually make with raw plantain. Tawa fry being the latest fave at home. last week i got some kundapur chicken masala from Vidya nayak shenoy ( who had got it from Kudpi maam) I love trying out different masalas and making sabzis with them. as Vidya did nott have the method of how to use the masala powder i decided to check out Kudpi maam's blog, and thtere i found this recipe for kela sukka. I had just one banana at home and had to make a side dish for dinner to go with rice and rasam. So, i tried this. and i really like it ... so am making a note of this. With due credits to Kudpi maam ( many more recipes from his blog to follow ).
