Vazhakkai Roast | வாழைக்காய் வறுவல் | Raw Plantain Fry

Vazhakkai Roast is crispy and spicy fry which can be served as an appetizer as well as with variety-rice varieties. This is simple to prepare, yet makes a rich and delicious accompaniment. Plantain slices are marinated in spice masala and shallow fried till it turns crispy. This is my Mother-in-law's recipe and its one of my favorites.

Serve hot ! I served it with Kovakkai Arachuvitta Sambar and Peerkangai Kootu.

Notes :-
-----------
#You can use chilli powder for marination. But sambar powder makes it flavorful. 
# Marinate the plantain slices for a minimum 30 minutes or over-night. So that raw-plantain gets infused in the masala.
