keerai sambar using
this way.But recently my MIL made vazhakkai curry aka poriyal using freshly ground spices.We prepared this as a side dish for
mor kuzhambu &
Pulisaaru(Vendhaya rasam).It was awesome.Basically i love any poriyal if its made with freshly ground masalas like my
baby potato curry and
ennai kathrikai poriyal.So i was very happy when my MIL made this for me.Friends,try this raw banana curry if u are looking for a change from your usual poriyal recipe.U will love it.U can also try this without Onions & garlic but these ingredients render a special flavor to this curry.Soon i will share my mom’s vazhakkai podimas and fry recipes here.Lets see how to make this yummy vazhakkai poriyal recipe for rice
