    Vazhakkai poriyal

    Marination gives a nice flavor to this Vazhakkai Poriyal. In our home we love raw banana. generally prepare Vazhakkai podimas or Vazhakkai podi curry as a side dish for rice in our home. This particular Vazhakkai Poriyal recipe I learned from my friend's mom and I liked it, so started cooking this frequently. Marination gives aromatic flavor to the raw banana curry. Plaintain chips is my son’s favorite

    Can I reduce oil for Vazhakkai varuval?

    Yes but taste might vary. It might taste like poriyal for varuval you need to add extra oil. It gives amazing flavor.

    Can I skip resting time after marinating?

    No,  for the best flavors you need to rest the warranted raw banana for at least 1 hour.
