Vazhakai poriyal/ Plantain fry and An award!!!

Vazhakai is nothing but raw banana. It is mostly used to make bajji. Most dont prefer plantain coz of the belief that it causes gas trouble. I am not sure if thats true.... I love this particular poriyal made with it. My mom says, the ingredients used in this recipe suppress the effect of plantain. I just adore this poriyal...

Ingredients:

1 plantain (cut into small round slices)

2 tbsp oil

salt to taste

Paste:

1 small onion

7 garlic flakes

1" ginger

1 tbsp pepper or more

Preparation:

Grind the ingredients given to a fine paste adding little water.

Heat oil in a pan. Do the usual seasoning. Add plantain pieces. Saute for 5 minutes. Add ground paste and 1/2 cup water. Adjust salt. Cover and cook for 10 -15 mts. The plantain should have soft texture, don't over cook it. All the masala will coated to the plantain (dry consistency). Remove from heat..

Serve hot with sambar or rasam!!!
