This time a quality produce of these nendram pazham was available at the farmers market and I was tempted to buy it. I did buy it to have it as a fruit but suddenly had a thought to try this kerala pazham pori recipe. I got the exact recipe from sutralam suvaikalam program. This recipe was lightly different from the usual one but its the exact method done in shops over there in the state. So, I strongly believed in the recipe,
the method is quite simple the consistency of the batter is very important. The usual recipe ingredients used for this is rice flour but instead they have used the dosa batter. I tried it for the first time and it came out perfectly crisp on the outside with soft insides. The banana need not be over ripe it should be firm enough and sliceable. The perfect ripe banana for this recipe is that the skin should be yellow with black patches, but it will be fine inside don’t worry. Sure,make this kerala pazham pori recipe at home as a snack you will enjoy it.
