This is by far the best among all the yummy thuvaiyals(chutneys) of the Kongu region, that goes very well with south Indian main dishes i.e., idlies, dosais, oothappams, paniyarams, idiyappam, appams and all variety rice and hot steamed rice Banana blossom(inflorescence) is known as Vazhaipoo in Tamil. It has numerous health benefits. It is good for diabetics. It treats ulcers and menstrual cramps. It increases haemoglobin content.
Though it is a time-consuming process to remove certain parts from each floret, the health value of this blossom is abundant,so it is more worth cleaning and processing.
Beyond the medicinal values, its taste is such that you will surrender your senses.
Let me share the preparation of this yummy thuvaiyal:
Ingredients:
Vazhaipoo one(banana inflorescence)
Fried Bengal gram 50 gms
Shredded coconut one cup
Salt to taste
Tamarind one marble size ball
Jaggery one small cube.
Asafoetida one pinch
Curry leaves one sprig
Red chillies one
Cleaned banana florets one cup( chopped using scissor)
Sesame oil one tablespoon
Bellary onion half chopped
Garlic pod one
Turmeric half spoon
Procedure:
Heat the frying pan with sesame oil.
Add red chilly, onion pieces,curry leaves
Saute until the onion turns translucent.
Add banana floret chops and fry until turn golden brown.
Add shredded coconut, fried Bengal gram and garlic pod.
Add salt and jaggery.
Sprinkle asafoetida.
Set aside to cool.
Blend with adequate water to make a coarse paste.
Transfer the paste to a serving bowl.
Yummy treat with hot steamed rice tossed with one spoon of ghee.
Challenging the world's yummiest treats!!! Bang!!!
Note: Remove the transparent chip like petiole and stigma from each floret and collect all the cleaned florets in a plate . Chop the florest)( view the images for reference)
Apply coconut oil over your hands and start the process.
Don't bother about the decolorization while processing the cleaning. It is due to the exposure of flowers to the air. The change in color doesn't spoil the taste.
