Crispy spicy plantain fry – easy to make side dish for a simple Indian vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Plantain (raw banana) – 2 thick, sliced into 0.5cm discs

Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Cumin powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Chili powder – to taste

Salt – to taste

Mustard seeds

Asafoetida (hing) – a pinch
