VAZHAKKAI SAMAAN PODI KARAMUDHU

Generally this type of curry is done on festival days. But this is an excellent combination with jeera rasam (Type 1 and Type 2) mixed with hot rice and a little ghee. This is done with brinjals also. You can see the brinjal saamaan podi here.

INGREDIENTS:

Raw bananas - 2
Oil - 2 tablespoons
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp.
Salt - as per taste
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp.
Urad dhal - 1/2 tsp.
Red chillies - 2
Curry leaves - few
Karamudhu podi - 2 tablespoons
Grated coconut - 1 tablespoon
METHOD:

De-skin and chop bananas into slightly big cubes. Cook them in boiling water with salt and turmeric powder until 3/4th done.

Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan, add mustard seeds, urad dhal & red chillies . When golden brown add curry leaves and 3/4th cooked bananas. Saute well by flipping it gently . When it is finished, add grated coconut and karamudhu podi. Saute for 2 more minutes. Vazhakkai saamaan podi karamudhu is ready.

    Dear Shanthi Madam,

    I found your blog only recently. And, am so glad I did. My thaligai doesn't have the true iyengar flavor and sometimes I miss my Amma's thaligai a lot. Now, hopefully, I can try out some traditional iyengar recipes and get a taste of home (away from home).

    Thank you! Eagerly awaiting more....
