Raw Plantain Stir Fry | Vazhakka Mezhukupuratti | വാഴയ്ക്കാ മെഴുക്കുപുരട്ടി


Raw Banana is known as Kaya in Malayalam. Unripe Bananas are used for making different side dishes in Kerala. Raw Plantains (Vazhakka) are mostly used for making Thoran, Mezhkkupuratti, Erisheri and so on. Vazhakka is also cooked with different kinds of Payaru (Beans) such as Achinga Payaru, Cherupayaru, Vanpayaru etc.







INGREDIENTS : 

  1. Raw Plantain – 2 big
  2. Turmeric Powder – 1/4 tsp
  3. Diced Shallots (Kunjulli) – 5 or6 (Alternatively use diced Onions)
  4. Minced/Crushed Garlic – 4 cloves
  5. Red Chilly Flakes – 1 tsp
  6. Red Chilly Powder – 1/2 tsp
  7. Black Pepper Powder – 1/4 tsp
  8. Curry Leaves – a sprig
  9. Coconut Oil – 1 tbsp + 1 tsp
  10. Mustard Seeds – 1/4 tsp
  11. Salt – to taste

INSTRUCTIONS : 

  1. Trim the edges of the plantain and lightly peel the thick outer skin. Dice it into small cubes. Soak it in water for five minutes and then wash it in several changes of water. This will remove the stickiness (kara).
  2. Boil the plantain pieces in plenty of water along with 1/4 tsp turmeric powder and salt to taste until soft. It may take 7-8 minutes for the pieces to get cooked. Drain excess water and keep it aside. (You can also cover and cook the plantain with very little water but it may end up mushy. I prefer boiling it in plenty of water and then draining it.)
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet and splutter mustard seeds. Saute shallots, curry leaves and garlic until the shallots begin to lightly brown.
  4. Add the cooked plantain pieces to the skillet. Add 1/2 tsp red chilly powder and 1 tsp red chilly flakes. Add salt only if needed. Mix everything and then spread it out as much as possible.
  5. Allow the plantain pieces to lightly brown on the edges, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes. Add 1/4 tsp black pepper powder and toss everything.
  6. Finally, drizzle 1 tsp of coconut oil to coat the pieces. Remove from heat and serve with Rice.



NOTES : 

  • I prefer making Vazhakka Mezhkkupuratti completely dry but if you like it slightly mushy, just sprinkle a few tea spoons of water and keep it covered while cooking instead of allowing it to brown.

KERALA BANANA CHIPS - ETHAKKA UPPERI RECIPE










TIME :

Preparation time: 30 minutes 
Cooking time: 15 minutes 
Recipe Source: Amma



INGREDIENTS :

  • 3 unripe plaintain (ethakka)
  • 1 tsp of turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp of salt
  • 4-5 cups of coconut oil



INSTRUCTIONS :

  1. Make grooves into the skin of the plaintain and peel it off gently. Save the skin for a thoran (waste not!)
  2. Mix the turmeric powder in a bowl of water and immerse the peeled plaintain in this. Let it rest for 30 mins
  3. Heat oil in a pan and let it reach almost-smoking point
  4. Pat the soaked plaintain dry using kitchen towels, it's ok if it's a bit moist
  5. Using a slicer, slice the plaintain into thin discs. You can directly do this into the hot oil (which needs more practise) or do this into another bowl and then add it to the hot oil
  6. The chips will sizzle A LOT and then start to brown a bit. Don't let it turn too red, that will spoil the taste. The sizziling will almost subside when the chips are ready
  7. Mix the salt in about 2 cups water and keep ready
  8. Sprinkle this salt water over the chips when they are still in the oil but ready. Be careful while doing this since the oil is hot - just sprinkle, don't pour
  9. Give it a mix and then drain the chips to a kitchen towel to soak up the excess oil
  10. Fry all the banana pieces, let cool, and store in airtight containers. Since coconut oil tends to go rancid pretty quickly, finish off the chips within 2-3 days or store in the refrigerator for up to a month
