Ingredients
| Plantain (kachche kele) | 2 |
| Onions | 1 cup finely chopped |
| Fresh tomatoes | 2 cups blended |
| Vegetable Oil | 1 tbsp |
| Cumin seeds (jeera) | 1/2 tsp |
| Asafoetida (heeng) | A pinch |
| Salt | 1 tsp |

| Turmeric powder (haldi) | 1 tsp |
| Garam Masala | 1/2 tsp |
| Green Chillies | 1-2 |
| Fresh cilantro leaves | 1/8 cup |
Method
- Peel the plantains. If you like, leave a thin layer of peel on the plantains. I have removed the peel fully.
- Chop it roughly in half centimeter thick pieces.
- Chop the onion finely. Blend tomatoes in a mixer.
- Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add asafoetida and cumin seeds. Wait till cumin seeds crackles and then add onions.
- Saute till they start to become brown.
- Now add rest of the spices except garam masala and fry for a few seconds till they are fragrant.
- Add blended tomatoes and cook on medium heat till their water is almost all evaporated.
- Add plantain pieces and 3 cups of water. Close the pressure cooker and cook on high heat. Once it whistles, lower the heat to low-medium and cook for another 7 minutes and then turn off the heat.
- Open the cooker once the steam dies down and add garam masala. Add more water if required. Garnish it with chopped cilantro and Plantain Curry is ready to serve.
- If you feel that the plantain does not become soft, you can boil the plantain separately and then add to the gravy.
