Whenever I come across plantains, I make sure to buy it to make this dish. I love this dish as much as I love stuffed plantain fry (check for recipe). This is very easy to make and at the same time makes you want more. So when making this dish, make sure you make it generously, otherwise trust me you are going to make this again. This dish is very rich and nutritious, hence good for even kids.

Ingredients:

• Plantains(ripe)-2
• Egg-1
• Sugar-3tbsp
• Raisins-2tsp
• Cashew nuts-3 tsp
• Almonds-2 tsp
• Ghee-3tsp
• oil- for frying

Preparation:

• Cut the plantain vertically and slice it into small pieces.
• Fry the plantain in oil until golden brown and transfer into a paper towel to remove all the excess oil.
• Beat the egg with sugar and keep it aside.
• Roast the raisins, cashew nuts and almonds in 1tsp ghee and keep it  aside.
• In a bowl, mix the fried plantains, egg, roasted raisins and the nuts and mix well.
• In a skillet, add 2tsp ghee, add the mixture to this and saute until the egg gets cooked.
• Serve hot or cold, garnish with more nuts if you want.

Tips:

• You could make more by increasing the quantity of the ingredients. Plantain: Egg ratio is 2:1
• While feeding this to kids, you could mash this dish with wooden fork, hence it would be easy for them to eat and digest.
