    Banana Flower Fritters | Vazhaipoo Vadai

    Banana flowers fritters /Vazhaipoo vadai is my favourite snack .Just love to have it with a cup of Adrak chai. In fact the banana flowers added give this vadai a unique taste. It has so many health benefits too. Enjoy your evening with this vadai and a cup of chai.

    In fact cleaning banana flower is bit time consuming so it is better to clean it and refrigerate when we get time.

    • Curry Leaves – 1 spring
    • Rice Flour -1 tbsp
    • Salt to taste
    • Oil for deep frying

    Notes

    • Always use fresh banana flower in cooking.
    • While selecting banana flower in shop also if it is too much dark on the edges avoid buying that as it is old and will be bitter. It is my personal experience.
    • Soaking the chopped flowers in butter milk allow it to stay fresh and prevent it from getting bitter.
    • Add onions only before preparing vadai otherwise it might leave water and vadai will drink more oil.
    • Cook in medium flame, if cooked in high flame the outer part will get crisp soon but the inner part will remain un-cooked.
