Kaya Mezhukkupuratti Recipe – Kerala Style Raw Banana Stir Fry

Kaya Mezhukkupuratti Recipe

Kaya Mezhukkupuratti is one of menu items in onam sadya.I have already posted Beans Mezhupuratti which I posted last year during onam and this recipe is a variation to it so thought to try with Kaya / Raw Banana / Vazhakkai.

Mezhupuratti is a kerala style simple stir fry where the vegetables are blanched and then blended with onion garlic paste seasoned with coconut oil.’Mezhukku’ means ‘oil’ in Malayalam & ‘Puratti’ means ‘smear’ so that explains it all.

Mezhukkupuratti can be made with many vegetables but the popular ones being Kaya, Kaya(Raw Banana),Chena(Elephant Yam),Carrot,Achinga Payar(Long Kaya)  etc.

    Very good variation. You explained the name such a detailed way. Your photo's are giving the clear method of cooking – the way u explain in my notes can be seen literally in your pictures. Your become an expert food photographer. Keep it up. Once I tasted a mixed vegetable dish in friends place, it includes Raw Banana, Ladies Finger and Brinjal. Almost like this photo only the dish looked. When I asked they said, cook all 3 veg separately and final stage add all together- Can we try this recipe like that/ only we can make with Vazhakka. But they didn't share the secret powdered masala sprinkled on the top.
