Hi Indira …came here searching for a ripe plantain recipe but i am amazed to see the raw plantain curries here .. i will make a few of these and let you know . You have a great blog !!
BTW the ripe plantain boiled and served with ghee n sugar doesn’t seem to be my type , may be i’ll have to look for something else.

Hi Indira,

How do we get rid of the sticky mess to the container while we boil the plantains?

thanks,

Another very simple version of this curry would be to simply dice them into bite sized cubes and fry them in a little oil in a non stick pan. Add a little red chilli powder and salt and bingo you have a heavenly sidedish to go with sambar . It tastes just great with a little white rice and ghee too.

dear Indiraji! i think adding 4-5 tablespoons of oil for popu(tiragamota), instead of just 1 spoon reduces the problem of drying of plaintain peices to a considerable extent.(we could stop counting calories once in a while.)the taste is much better too.

Particularly during winter times, they turn into solid rock like bits once they are cooled. I also have same problem, Mika. That’s why we usually eat the curry right out of the stove. I will keep the ingredients ready and I prepare the curry while making the chapatis.
Also adding the plantain cubes to popu or tadka immediately after removing them from the hot water - this also makes them little bit soft and moist. And always cook them covered, don’t let the moisture escape from the pan.Even after taking all kinds of precautions, they dry out within one hour.
I agree that the plaintains available here are completely different from that of India.
