Direction:

1. Heat oil in a pan and to that add mustards seeds. Wait until the seeds crackle and then add cumin seeds, curry leaves, ural dal and chopped garlic pod.
2. Saute them until they turn light brown in color.
3. Now add turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt according to your taste.
4. Finally add the plantain and then mix them uniformly with the sauteed mixture.
