Vazhakkai varuval is my hubby's favorite and the charm works really well all the time. Though he was brought up in Mumbai, he loves all the South Indian dishes and this recipe is definitely one of them.

Sorry if these seem like silly questions but is the banana a sweet one or can you use plantains?
ReplyDeleteand did you peel the banana or did you leave the peel?
thanks!
Hi, I have used the plantain for cooking and I peeled the skin. The outer layer turns dark so I put in water, after cutting them in to small circles. I hope this helps..
