Vazhakkai Podi is a traditional dry curry made using Raw Banana. Raw Banana is one of the common vegetable used in South Indian kitchen, especially in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. We can make yummy recipes using Raw Banana like Vazhakkai Stir-Fry, Vazhakkai Podimas and many more. This recipe is from the famous book “Samaithu Par” by the legend Meenakshi Ammal. This Vazhakkai podi is much similar to podimas. In Podimas, we cook the banana, grate it and temper with green chili, ginger, mustard and curry leaves. Here in this recipe, instead of green chili, ginger, we are going to prepare a spice powder and we are going to mix that with the crumbled raw banana.

Tips to make perfect Vazhakkai Podi :

  1. Cook the Raw Banana till soft but not mushy.
  2. Crumble or grind the cooked Raw Banana. Use pulse mode if you plan to grind the raw banana
  3. Adjust the spice level according to our needs for the spice powder
  4. Temper in Coconut oil for more flavor
