I know most of us are aware of cleaning vazhaipoo, I wanted to post it as a reader requested for it. This is my favourite veggie, either poriyal or vadai I just luv it. We make it atleast 2 weeks once though cleaning part is a little time consuming. We make a poriyal with moong dhal which I will post next week. You can check the vazhaipoo vadai step by step recipe here.
Ingredients:
- Banana Flower (Vazhaipoo) – 1 flower
Method:
First rub your hands with sesame oil or wear your gloves as touching this veggie turns ur hand black. Then open the petal one by one and take florets(yellow color shown below) and keep seperately.
Take a floret and remove the parts shown below – remove the stem like part and plastic like petal and collect the other parts.
Chop the veggie finely and add it in diluted buttermilk to prevent from color changing.Towards the center,there will be a white cone shaped tender part which you can eat it as such tastes good and good for health too.
My Notes:
- We can even clean it overnight and store it in a ziplock bag for use the next day.
- I have heard from my neighbors that they chop and soak in buttermilk overnight for next day use though I havent personally tried it this way.

I remember cleaning vazhaipoo with my Grandma particularly to eat the innermost part :). It has been ages since I had it.
