Vazhaipoo Paruppu Usili

My MIL is an ardent fan of anything to do with gram dal. Paruppu Usili is definately on top of the list. Add it to the goodness of Banana Blossoms, just an awesome dish for lunch. You can also try this with cluster beans, french beans. Infact it tastes great without any vegetable as well.

Vazhaipoo Vadai

Once when we visited my husband's aunt she had prepared these crispy vadais. Since then we have been thinking of preparing vazhaipoo vadai. But we never could find it in reliance or hypercity or spar in Bangalore. And being lazy to go to the market, we almost forgot about it. This weekend when we went shopping in KL, we had been to a local tamil market and we found all indian vegetables there. And when we saw vazhai poo, though the whole thing is too much for us, we will buy it. So today I prepared vazhaipoo vadai and later will post some other recipes with it.

How to - Prepare Vazhaipoo

Vazhaipoo or Banana Blossom is a very tasty and healthy ingredient. Its a fibre rich source, and can reduce blood cholestrol levels. It purifies blood, and also increases the hemoglobin content in blood. But its comsumption is less, owing to laborious procedure before cooking. We prepare vadai, paruppu usili, varuval etc with this.
