Plantain Stir-Fry
Plantains, a less sweet and more starchy variant of bananas, are best used in savory recipes when they are in their raw green state. In this form, green plantains exhibit a flavor profile that is reminiscent of potatoes rather than ripe bananas.

- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon turmeric

- 2 serrano peppers slit but keep in tact
- 1-inch fresh ginger minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 10-12 curry leaves
- handful of unsweetened grated coconut I use the brand Daily Delight fresh frozen grated coconut found
Instructions
- Put the cubed plantains in a pot with 1 cup of water, turmeric and salt. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes or until soft. Drain water from the pot.
- Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they start to splutter, add the serrano pepper, ginger, garlic and curry leaves.
- Add the cooked plantain pieces and grated coconut to the pan and mix together.
