There are days where I feel ambitious to try new things, out of which many goes to bin and few end up hits. This is one of those concoction I made which ended up a hit in my home. I'm a crazy food combination explorer and I should definitely thank my husband for being the 'mouse' and for being the politest critic that the world could ever see.
Raw plantain or Vazhakkai is one of the vegetables that brings back the Indian feel in Sweden. Those hot and crispy bajis as a rainy day snacks, to a much loved pan fried plantain as a side for sambar/ curd rice. There are many dishes which can be made from raw plantain and will share all soon… I have tried many different recipes from the web too which are good. But the spice blend I have used here is unique. The sweet fennel and the spicy chilies gives the best of both worlds.
