Vazhaipoo Vadai
Vazhaipoo Vadai is a delicacy! This is my mom's vazhapoo vadai recipe :)
Ingredients:
¾ cup toor dal
¼ cup channa dal
3 red chillies
1 green chilli
Salt
¼ cup channa dal
3 red chillies
1 green chilli
Salt
hing 3 dashes
1/2 onion chopped (opotional)
3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
1 sprig curry leaves
Soak the dals and chillies for 45 min in water. Drain and grind in a mixie to a coarse batter (just like Masala vada).
Take a vessel with 6 cups water and add 1/2 cup butter milk to it.
Carefully take out the edible portions of the banana flower. Chop them and allow them to sit for a minute in buttermilk-water. This step is to prevent the flower from changing colour.
Drain out the excess water pat them dry with paper towels.
Add sufficient salt, hing, chopped onions, coriander, curry leaves and vazhaipoo to the batter. Mix evenly.
Take out tiny balls of batter and flatten out on oil smeared plastic sheets.
Deep fry in hot oil till golden brown on both sides
Serve hot with coconut chutney!

You need to have so much patience to prep the vazhaipoo for cooking, right?
