Vazhathandu Poriyal Recipe – Banana Stem Stir Fry

May 3, 2013 by Sharmilee J 13 Comments

Vazhaithandu poriyal is one the easy and healthy poriyal recipes. I accompanied it with kathrikai puli kulambu and rice, it was a hearty satisfying meal one of my fav lunch combo too 🙂

It seems like yest since I reached here at my native and its going to be a week already….lots of memories, happy times, shopping times, chit chats and what not?! Its always fun to see around the place we grew up as a child and I always cherish them. And should I have to mention about the variety of chettinad special dishes I had and ofcourse the memories each dish carries……had a gala time and am sure its going to take quite sometime for me to be back to routine. 2 more days and will be back home, already appa is missing mittu badly so here we come……:o Meet you all very soon in another interesting post from nama kovai 🙂

My Notes:
  • While tempering instead of green chillies, you can even add red chillies and chana dal.
  • Raw coconut is of no cholestrol so I always add it at the last stage but if you preparing your lunch well in advance then saute the coconut then swtich off else the poriyal will get spoiled soon.

    Dear Sharmi,

    Fantastic pics there! Your recipes are very simple and inspires anyone to cook!

    Few questions..Really need your help:
    1. I see that you are in Coimbatore, that is where I'm in too :). Where do we get butter paper for baking here? I searched Auchan in Brookefields, but didnt get them.
    2. Where do you get Ramekins from?
    3. Is there any place in CBE where we get exotic veggies – Avacado, Brussels sprouts, Zucchini..etc…

    Will be looking forward to your reply 🙂
