    Vazhakkai Podimas Recipe with step by step picture. This Raw Banana Podimas recipe made with Raw Banana , Onion and Coconut.

    Valakai Podimas recipe

    I love to make dishes like this, i have one version of this using potato podimas. These dry curry are so flavourful and mild, which is a perfect side dish with any spicy curries. I made my favorite kara kulambu to serve with this.

    I used my rice cooker, to steam the banana for this. Many people raise me questions to show recipes which uses rice cooker and what all stuff we can do in a rice cooker. 
     
    This is what i do, i have a steamer basket which came along with my rice cooker. I use that to steam veggies when i am cooking rice in that. So two job get done in one time. 
     
    Enough with that tip, try this and let me know what you think..
