Ingredients:

• 2 – medium plantains (you can use green or moderately ripe plantains but be sure they are still quite firm)
• 1/2 tsp – Turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp – Red Chilli powder
• 1/3 cup – rava (cream of wheat, sooji, farina)
• Salt to taste

Method:

1. Cut each plantain in half, then make a lengthwise cut along one side just through the skin.
2. Peel off the skin.
3. Cut the plantain lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
4. In a cast-iron or non-stick skillet, heat the oil.
5. Meanwhile, toss the plantain slices with the turmeric and chilli powders and salt.
6. Place the rava in a plate and dredge each plantain slice in the rava, making sure both sides are well-coated.
7. Place in the hot oil, making sure you do not overcrowd the pan.
8. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat until golden.
