Good one! I have been searching for a plantain recipe since some time and found this on ur site. I never tried plantain, as we don’t get these in our native, but my hubby is a big fan of this and had been asking me since long time to try it out.

When I started boiling the cubed plantains by adding water, turmeric and salt, after some time, all of them got some black patches. Not sure what went wrong. I had to throw them out . Can you please help me finding my mistake?

Also, how do you peel the plantain? Not sure if I did something wrong in the peeling process.

I’m not sure why the boiled plantain got black patches. Maybe you should try again with fresh raw green plantains. To peel the plantain, use a sharp knife to cut the top and end part. Use the knife to peel the green skin (do oil your hands as they can stain). Place in salted water to prevent discoloring. Slice or chop into pieces as called for in the recipe and place in salted water till use. Hope this helps.

Hi Shailu

I look up you site first thing in the morning. I always find something there. You mentioned above that mustard powder is used in jackfruit preparations. Can I use the same Ava Pettina Arati Kura Recipe for
say 250 to 300 gms of raw jackfruit.

Thanks once again for the awesome site.

Your welcome, Sarita. Yes, you can follow the above recipe for raw jackfruit. Adjust spices according to the quantity of jackfruit used.

wow.. this is quite a safe food.. I am totally allergic to oily (atleast oily looking) foods.. This seems to be easy to prepare and looks like it would be a feast when we eat with curd and pudhina chutney on steamed rice … Thanks Sailu.. good find..

After adding the mustard paste, do not cook the plantains for long. Turn off heat after one or two mts.
