Just going through the traditional Kerala recipes in your blog and am quite tickled by the variations.
ReplyDeleteThe use of ghee and ginger is interesting...
hello! Awesome blog with wonderful recipes and pictures. Nicely done.
ReplyDeletecan you please clarify whether to use raw plantains or ripe plantains for kootu curry, kalan etc? I know you've mentioned ripe plantains in your recipes, but won't that make those dishes sweet?
thanks

@ Anonymous We really appreciate you for checking out our space so much in detail. In Kaalan we use fairly ripe plaintain (not extremely ripe) because its supposed to be a little sweetish whereas in kootu curry using ripe plaintain was a total typo error, it should be raw plaintains. Thank you so much for pointing it out.
