Tips for making Vazhakkai (Raw Banana) Podimas:

  1. First, while cooking raw banana in boiling water, make sure to flip it at regular intervals so that the raw banana gets cooked evenly on all sides.
  2. Insert a spoon or fork at regular intervals to see if it pierces into the skin easily. If so, then the raw banana is completely cooked.
  3. Allow the cooked raw banana to cool off completely and then grate. If not, cooked raw banana will become mushy.
  4. Its a good choice to mix grated ginger, coconut and salt to the grated raw banana before tempering so that it is nicely mixed.
  5. Generously add split dal while tempering. Biting podimas along with the crispy fried split dal enhances the flavor.
  6. Finally if we like, we can add lemon juice to get the tinge of tangy flavor.
