Ethapazham pulisherri or plantain yogurt curry is a sweet and sour curry made with ripe sweet bananas. In Kerala cuisine we find lot of recipes using plantains. This curry is common and homely and can be made any time of the year. There are not seasonal like Mambayam pulisherri ( Sweet Mango curry). This spiced yogurt dish goes well with rice and any vegetarian or non vegetarian side dishes. It is usually of a little thinner consistency but i like it thick.So i add very little water while grinding coconut.
Ingredients
Plantain ripe- 2
Coconut- 1/3 cup
Yogurt- 1 cup
Turmeric powder - 1/3 tsp
Chilly powder- 1/2 tsp
Green chilly- 2
Fenugreek Seeds- 1/2 tsp
Mustard Seeds- 1/2 tsp
Shallot diced -1
oil 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Sugar- 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves -1 spring
Cut plantain into 1 1/2 inch pieces and cook it with salt, turmeric, sugar,green chilly and chilly powder. Do not allow it to get mashed up. Set this aside
Grind the coconut into a fine paste and whisk in yogurt and mix this to the cooked plantain. Heat this in low medium flame for about two minutes or till it is warmed up.
(Note:you can add cumin also but this is optional, In usual pulisherry like cucumber or ash gourd we add cumin.But we do add it when we make fruit pulisherri like mango,pazham and pineapple)
Heat oil in a kadai or a pan and splutter mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds.Allow fenugreeks to get roasted and add in shallots, dry red chilly and curry leaves and allow shallots to become golden brown. Add this to the curry and mix well.
