Hailing from Kerala, I have a special place for plantain as I grew up having this cooked in different forms, plantain chips being the most popular. Luckily, this is available at Canadian grocery stores too and I often buy it and make something different each time.<\/p>\n<p>The other day, I&#8217;d made plantain muffins and it turned out great. However, I didn&#8217;t click\u00a0good pictures so I didn&#8217;t post the recipe here. This morning, I thought I&#8217;ll make that again for brunch and click some good pictures. I was almost ready to make it and then I figured out that\u00a0my refrigerator was out of \u00a0milk. I\u00a0felt too lazy to be out of my pyjamas and go for a milk shopping.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t give up, took a slightly different route and made this healthy and yummy plantain bread cake. The best part was this was cooked in a saucepan over stovetop.<\/p>\n<p>This is quite similar to<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/kaipola-steamed-plantain-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaipola<\/a><\/strong>&#8211; a popular Malabar snack made with plantain. However, in this one I&#8217;ve also added bread.<\/p>\n<p>Give it a try, it&#8217;s easy to make and healthy. Makes an awesome evening snack or for brunch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some of the plantain recipes I&#8217;ve tried in my kitchen over the years: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a
