Tips: 1. Make sure you select plantains which look fully green, firm and have no soft spots. Otherwise you will end up with a very sweet dish! 2. The addition of split peas and urad dal is a way to sneak in protein. Also, I love my stir fries with a crunchy texture and the dals give that texture. 3. Add a tsp of melted ghee/coconut oil to hot rice and mix in the plantains. Will taste amazing! ๐๐
