banana flower vadai recipe /vazhaipoo vadai /valaipoo paruppu vadai

Iam fond of this banana flower vadai recipe that I totally lose my numbers when relishing it.I totally agree with you!cleaning these valaipoo is very tough. But, once you do it its all worth the hard work.I will give you some tips that I know!while cleaning these banana blossoms first remove the flowers in bunches then take out the stigma part(stick like portion) and transparent film-like pinkish covering. When you are done with all ,then chop it with kitchen scissors,it will be more easier. You can chop them finely this way.Keep the bunches intact so that you can easily chop them.If, available at your place use pattani paruppu and it is called vadai paruppu at some places.If not available use only kadalai paruppu alone and do this banana flower vadai recipe.Generally,this pattani paruppu is used to increase taste and flavour of the vadai.Sometimes even cloves ,garlic and cinnamon too are added but for this banana flower vadai recipe it’s not needed as of to bring the real taste of banana blossoms.
