Vazhaikai or Raw Banana Podi an authentic age old recipe. I don’t know if how many people know about this rice mix.It is prepared at our home sometimes when we want to have traditional food platter. It tastes great with Mor Kuzhambu and hubby loves to eat the Podi as such since it has carefully roasted dals and grounded to perfection. I made this recipe quite sometime back but am posting this now.The key to the taste is the roasting of dals and grinding it coarsely so that you can bite the dal pieces.See recipe of Vazhaikai Podi down below.
