Plantain Fry - Aratikai Pittu

My In-laws has come down to see us, guess what.. I am enjoying the Andhra special food,ummm..yummy and spicy. All that she cooks are authentic Andhra dishes and the flavors may be little different according to our taste. I missed few of her dishes but I got this one. She knows how to cook fast but delicious. This going to be very simple and fast to cook. My contribution to "FIC GREEN" hosted by shunshinemom

Good one, Priya! I have never tried vazhakkai curry like this - we make podimaas sometimes but this should taste great with sambar! Again - could you repost?
