Vazhakkai poriyal/ Raw banana dry curry

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This raw banana poriyal is adapted from my friend Madhu’s blog – “anyonecankoch”. We were in school together and have been talking about food and recipes ever since I know her. We share a lot of recipes and this one was posted on her blog in Opos method (one pot one shot cooking). I have already spoken about OPOS cooking in some of my previous posts. I have followed the same recipe/ method but tried it on instant pot with little extra water to avoid burning and it came out perfectly 🙂 This is the only way I am going to eat vazhakkai from now on 🙂
