      hey

      This is a different method to make plantain dry veggie. I have never steamed it before cooking always pan fried or cooked with a lid. Loving this method. Will try this method.
      Looks fab

      Vazhaikai is not that welcome in my home but i do make once in while when i find them bright green... podimas is very tempting and will go well with some sambar sadam on the side.
