Vazhakkai Varuval Recipe | Vazhakkai Roast recipe| Raw Banana Fry Recipe | Vazhakkai Fry Recipe is one of the popular poriyal using Vazhakkai.  Like Potato, Raw banana is another yummy vegetable which tastes divine if we stir-fry them. Vazhakki Varuval is one of the traditional poriyal or curry variety in most of the South Indian kitchen. Raw banana cooks very fast and for stir-fry we don’t need to use much oil if we use non-stick pan. A hassle free and quick Vazhakkai stir-fry and would be a nice side dish for most of the of the rice varieties and even with all traditional kuzhambu varieties. Vazhakkai Varuval (Raw Banana Fry) is one of the easy to make poriyal where we slice the raw banana (vazhakkai) in to very thin pieces and marinate them in the masala and shallow fry in the medium flame. This tastes awesome and can be made very quickly.

Tips for making Vazhakkai Fry:

  1. Slice the raw banana to slightly thicker slices so that it won’t get mushy while getting fried.
  2. Soak the raw banana slices in water till its ready to get marinated. Raw banana get de-colorized if not soaked.
  3. Adjust the spice according to your needs. You can also add a pinch of amchoor powder to get a slight tangy flavor.
  4. Marination helps the raw banana slices to absorb the spices nicely.
  5. Shallow fry the raw banana slices in low flame and flip the slices often to make sure they are fried properly on both the sides without getting burnt.
