Vazhaithandu Poriyal Recipe without Coconut

Vazhaithandu Poriyal | Plantain Stem | Banana Stem Stir fry recipe

Vazhaithandu/plantain stem/banana stem is a healthy vegetable and rich in fiber. It helps in controlling diabetes, relives constipation and reduce body heat. Only cleaning part takes time everything else can be done in jiffy. I usually make Vazhaithandu sambar or Vazhaithandu Poriyal with coconut and moong dal. This stir-fry is very simple to make with basic ingredients. I have tried this recipe when I had no coconut at home. It turned out good and goes well with any tangy gravy.

Serve the healthy Vazhaithandu Poriyal with steamed rice, sambar or rasam. We had it with vendakkai puli Kuzhambu.

Notes
:
1. Instead of butter milk you can use 2 tbsp of lemon juice to soak the chopped banana stem. But make sure to wash it well before cooking in order to remove the flavor of lemon.
2. Make sure to remove the fiber otherwise it may come in mouth while eating.
3. You can use this ground spice powder for other stir fry’s too.
