Raw plaintain kebabs are made by mixing together plantains and chana dal with spices and then either you can deep fry or shallow fry it. I prefer to shallow fry it. Before frying it is rolled in corn flour which makes the kebabs more crispy. This can be made for snacks or as appetizers or  when theres any guest at your place.
