Kaele Phodi(Raw Banana Fry)
Phodi in konkani basically refers to any vegetable with rava coating which is shallow fried on a griddle/tava. Phodis can be prepared using most of the common veggies like Potato, sweet potato, jackfruit, brinjal, ridgegourd, breadfruit, corm(amorphophallus/suran)and raw banana(plantain). Phodis are usually eaten as side dishes in meals.
Time taken: 20 minutes
Serves about 3-4 people
Ingredients Required:
1 large raw banana/plantain
Salt to taste
1 tsp red chilly powder
1/2 tsp hing/asafoetida
Oil as per requirement.
Method of Preparation:
Peel off the banana using a vegetable peeler and cut it horizontally into 2 equal parts. Then, slit each of these parts lengthwise into thin slices, each slice being as thick as about 5 potato chips put together. Add the red chilly powder, salt and asafoetida which is mixed in about a tsp. of water. Cover the mixing bowl with a plate and shake a few times so that the masala smears itself all over the slices.
Heat a griddle/tava and spread out the chopped plantain over it. Pour a little oil over each slice and cook on medium flame by covering with a lid. When the bottom side turns slightly brown in colour, turn the pieces over and cook until and a sharp fork/toothpick comes off dry when pierced into them.
