Malabar Stuffed Pazham Pori Recipe – Pazham Nirachathu Recipe with step wise pictures.
Hot and crispy stuffed plaintain or nendrapazham which is a quite a popular recipe. It taste so delicious when served with hot chai.
I already have a version of banana fritters and pazham pori in this blog. This one is a different version of it with stuffing. I love this version more than the old one. The key for a tasty banana appam is to use a super ripe banana it has to be ripe and sweet.
