Kachchya KeLyachi Bhajee - Raw Plaintains Stir Fry

Kachchya KeLyachi Bhajee with PoLi

 

I found some good looking raw plantains in the supermarket. I decided to make this simple bhaji. Plantains tend to get dry after cooking and hence this bhaji needs plenty of fresh coconut. Adjust the amount per your preference.
