Vazhakkai Pepper Fry, is one the delicious stir-fry variety made with raw banana, freshly made pepper powder and mild masalas. Raw banana stir-fry and Potato stir-fry are very delicious accompaniment for many South Indian and North Indian main courses. Most of us make  Vazhakkai vathakal or vazhakkai varuval as often. We can bring in slight variations to the conventional varuval recipe and make this poriyal much more inviting and appetizing. This Vazhakkai Pepper fry is one such recipe. Onions are sautéed along with mild spices which are then combined and cooked with raw banana slices. The final seasoning of pepper powder and garnishing of fresh coriander leaves to the cooked raw banana slices are the unique flavor of this poriyal.

  2. Add right amount of water while cooking, otherwise the raw banana will be overcooked and turn out to be mushy. Start with 1/2 cup of water and add more if required.
