Allam Mirchi Aritkaya Koora ( Ginger-Chilli Plantain Curry)

Plantains/raw bananas are a family favorite especially simply fried ( off late airfried 😂) with salt and chilli powder. But this recipe from MIL’s kitchen is a welcome break from usual dish. It’s an amazing dish for festive South Indian lunches or for a quick lunch box idea like roti wraps.
