ABOUT Avapettina Aritikaya Kura -Green Plantain Curry With Mustard Falvor RECIPE

This recipe is from the Godavari delta region, which is also known as the rice bowl of Andhra pradesh with its lash paddy fields and rich coconut groves. Visakhapatnam is a costal port city. In this region, the cuisine is influenced by Oriya cuisine. In this curry they add the flavors of mustard and ginger to the fresh green plantain. It works well as a side dish for rice with dal and rasam. But my choice for this curry is with rice and dash of ghee.
