Vazhakkai/ Raw Banana Podi Curry

August 28, 2016 by Hema Leave a Comment

This is a simple curry made with raw banana and ground spices which gives a nice aroma and taste to the curry. This curry goes well with Vathakuzhambu and Rasam. Vazhakkai is always my favourite. We make different dishes with vazhakkai and this is my favourite dish.

Turmeric Powder – 1/4 tsp.
