Valakkai Varuval (Roast) / Raw Banana Pepper Chops

March 16, 2010 by Sharmilee J 36 Comments

Happy Ugadi to all my readers out there! Hope u r having a great week.Am having a bzzz week here inspite of it…am trying not to miss any updates of those wonderful blogs. Have created a fan page in FB for Sharmis Passions if you r interested, do join me here .

Now coming to todays vazhakai chops, I got this recipe from one of my aunts and it was soo tasty with curd rice. Do try it out and see!
Vazhakai Pepper Chops

Ingredients :
  • Raw Banana/Vazhakai – 1
  • Turmeric powder – a pinch
  • Chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil – 1tbsp
  • Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
Grinding :
  • Coconut – 2tbsp
  • Ginger – 1/2 inch piece
  • Garlic – 4 to 5 pieces
  • Pepper – 2 to 3 tsp
Method:
1.First cut the raw banana lengthwise like finger chips. Half boil it in water(It shudnt be mashy hard enough to get roasted), then marinate it with salt, chilli and turmeric powder, allow it to sit for 15mins.
2.Grind the ingredients under grinding to a fine paste with minimum water.
3.Add oil, then mustard seeds let it splutter. Now add the raw banana and saute it for 3mins . Next add the ground paste, little more salt if needed and fry well till all is combined well.
4.Sprinkle little water and leave it closed for 2mins for the veggie to cooked fully.Open and keep sauting until it is roasted well, it may take another 5mins.Switch off, serve with curd rice!
NOTE:
Dont overboil raw banana as it many tend to shred into pieces while roasting.
Vazhakai Pepper Chops

I dont know why it is called chops….it should be roast actually. Whatever the name be, the flavour of coconut and pepper with the veggie is spicy and flavourful making it a apt combo for curd rice.

    I've tasted a deep fried version of this which is apparently a chettinad speciality and loved it. Bookmarking this recipe to try since it looks super awesome (and no deep frying :))
    Happy Ugadi

    Hi sharmi
    I made it for my family today morning.
    U r true
    the coconut pepper and ginger garlic paste gives a different flavour to otherwise odourless vazhakkai and I made it in coconut oil
    it tasted the best.
    U made my day!!!
    sharmii U r the best
    am gonna try more and more recipes
    Am wondering whether we can substitute the same recipe for yam as well as raw jack fruit
    am sure it would taste the best
