Instructions

1. Wash and peel the green bananas, removing all the inner skin. Dice them and keep in water.
2. Steam the diced banana until just tender, about 10 to 12 minutes on medium heat; or boil them in an open pot with 1½ cups water. Do not let them turn mushy.
3. Heat the oil in a pan. Add cumin and mustard seeds and wait until they sizzle.
4. Add asafoetida, curry leaves, onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions are completely golden.
5. Add ginger garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes.
6. Add tomatoes, salt and turmeric. Sauté until the tomatoes are mushy.
7. Add red chili powder, garam masala and coriander powder. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
8. Pour in half a cup of hot water (or the plantain cooking water) and stir. Cook until it becomes a thick gravy.
9. Taste and adjust the salt. Add the steamed plantain and stir well.
10. Cover and cook on very low heat for 3 to 4 minutes until fork tender but not mushy. For a drier curry, cook 2 to 3 minutes more to evaporate the water.
11. Taste and adjust salt and spices. Stir in the coriander leaves and turn off the heat.
