delicious ! mouth watering !
Absolutely delicious…can’t stop drooling
ooooo wowwwwwwww so perfect colour….I m drooling …. xtremly wonderful..
Looks awesome Malar! And a different recipe. Should try this out some time!
Reg your query: Plantain is different from banana reg the texture and look. Plantains are much more harder and in its raw form its used for cooking esp in dishes like avial. In this preparation 3/4th ripe plantains are used(not bananas). If the plantain used is over ripe in this preparation, on steaming n mashing it would become too sticky n messy and will become difficult to handle! Hence you may go for the ripe ones not over riped ones. Also you may check out my previous post for picture of plantains: Ghee Roasted Plantains
Hope this clears your doubt. Else feel free to ask for more
