The golden yellow color of the dish you see in the photo is from the turmeric spice which we use in the recipe, which is really an amazing spice with its bright yellow color from curcumin and lots and lots of health benefits.

I have a lot of recipes using turmeric spices, you can see all recipes in my blog using turmeric spice here.

You can use any kind of medium to large sized green bananas or green plantains to make this dish.

Green bananas and green plantains are healthy edible fruits, which are not yet ripened.

And so they are not sweet, but edible and tasty when cooked.

Green bananas including plantains make great stir fries and chips and the South Indian Kerala style green plantain banana chips are very popular as a delicious kid friendly snack.

Even the skin of the plantains and green bananas are cooked and used since they are edible and yummy too.

In this recipe for green plantain bananas stir fry, which is also known as kaya or ethakka mezhukkupuratti in Kerala (and also known as vazhakka mezhukkupuratti or vazhakkai mezhukkupuratti in South India), I have not used the skin of the fruits.

This kaya mezhukkupuratti or green plantains stir fry is a simple recipe where the plantains are peeled, diced and stir fried in oil along with seasonings and salt.

This is popularly used as a side dish for rice during lunch or dinner.
