Kele Kappa - Green Plantain side dish

Kele are green plantain. They are only used for preparing side dishes or chips, but not used as fruits. This is my Mom’s favorite.


Ingredients :

2 Green plantain
1 tablespoon red chili powder
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
2 tablespoon rava
1 small piece of tamarind
Salt to taste
Oil

Method :

Peel the outer skin of the plantain with a knife or peeler. Slice the plantain lengthwise into ¼ inch slices. Put them in a bowl.

Soak the tamarind in 1 tablespoon water, squeeze to remove the pulp when soft. Add red chili powder, turmeric powder and salt to tamarind pulp. Mix well. Pour this paste on the plantain pieces and mix well so that all the plantain pieces are covered with this paste. Keep it for 15-20 mins.

Take two tablespoons of rava in a flat plate. Apply rava to both sides of the plantain pieces. Heat one teaspoon oil in a flat pan and fry the plantain pieces on both sides.

Serve hot with rice and dalithoy or any dali randai or tomato saru (hot spicy soup).
