Plaintains are rich in fiber and they can be a good addition to our daily diet. Cilantro added in this recipe is very good for our digestive system and it tends to remove bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol. Turmeric removes bacteria from the digestive track. So, overall this is a healthy food and can be taken frequently.
Printer Friendly Version: Aratikaya Vada
2 plantains, grated
1/2 cup rice flour
1 cup besan flour
2 green chillies (more if like it hot)
1/2 bunch curry leaves
1/2 bunch coriander/cilantro
1/2 chana dal
red chilly powder to taste
a pinch of turmeric
oil for deep frying
salt to taste
- Mix all the ingredients together and make them into disc shapes and deep fry them in oil.
Serve with ketchup or as it is.
Tip: Plantains tend to become dark after cutting, putting them in water after cutting will retain their color.

ReplyDeletethis is a cool idea!!! I dont usually grate it. I chop it lengthwise and dip it in the batter n fry. but this is a gr8 twist. thanx for the idea
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ramya about that twist..gr8 idea of using grated plantain. Vada looks delish.
