Kancha Kadali Bara

Ingredients:

2 plantains (kancha kadali)
4 potatoes (aalu)
3 tablespoon gram-flour (besan)
1 onion (piaja)
2 green chillies (kancha lanka)
¾ cup grated coconut (nadia kora)
½ teaspoon chili powder (lanka gunda)
1 sprig coriander leaves (dhania patra)
2 to 3 tablespoon refined cooking oil (rifaain tela)
Salt to taste (luna)

Method:

Wash the plantains and potatoes well. Presure-cook them in water for 2 to 3 minutes. Then peel the skin of the plantains and potatoes and mash them well. Now add gram-flour, chopped green chillies, chopped onion, chilli powder, coriander leaves, grated coconut and salt to taste. Mix them well. You should get dough- like consistency. Then heat the cooking oil on a non-stick pan. Make flat tikis (similar to koftas) and shallow-fry them on the non-stick pan. Serve hot. You could also try the recipe without the use of gram-flour (besan).
