Kache Kele Ki Sabji, Spicy Plantain, Raw Banana Sabji

Spicy plantain, Kachhe Kele ki Sabzi ,  makes a delicious side dish. Plantain is green raw banana that is used for cooking. They do not have the sweetness or flavor as regular bananas, but taste amazing when cooked with  spices. I like to serve them with dal and rice.

This recipe will serve 4.
