VAZHAI POO KUZHAMBU

 

 

I always like to cook traditional food whenever I get a chance and this one I learnt from my mom who makes it to perfection.In our family authentic food items are always a welcome and usually I make it on holidays.We all relish on such foods as they are so tasty and add a classic feel to it.My hubby is not only a great food critic but also eats whatever I make with much interest.No other go for him?So when I found this banana flower last week I purchased it to make this tasty gravy for a sunday lunch.You can have it with rice mixed with dal or as such itself.The only difficult part is removing the coverings and when that is done the rest is a matter of ease.You can cut the florerts and put them in a bowl of water and keep it in fridge till use.Always make sure to use the banana flower in a day or two from the date of purchase as fresh ones taste better and tastier.Now let’s see how I made this tasty gravy.
