Vazhakkai Roast Masala / Raw Banana Roasted in Masala

November 24, 2015 23 Comments

vazhakkai roast / raw banana roasted curry recipe

Coming to think of it, this is very similar to vazhakka thoran which I have posted before. Raks and Jeyashri came over for a potluck lunch one day and Raks brought her roasted vazhakkai. It was delicious. She said the recipe is in her blog so I checked the next day. This is the closest one I saw so I followed that recipe, making small changes here and there to suit my taste.

Vazhakkai Roast Masala / Raw Banana Roasted in Masala

Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 of
vazhakkai / raw banana

1/4 tsp of
salt

Grind Coarsely Together:

2 of
dry red chillies

1 tsp of
jeera / cumin
1 tsp of coriander powder / malli podi

1/2 cup of
grated coconut

4 shallots / ulli / chinna vengaayam

A pinch of
turmeric powder

For Tempering:

1 tbsp of
oil

1/4 tsp of
mustard seeds

1/4 tsp of
urad dal

1 strand of
curry leaves

How I Made It:

1. Peel and cut the raw bananas into small cubes.

2. Grind together the specified ingredients, without any water.

3. Heat oil in a pan and add the ingredients under tempering. When the mustard seeds pop and the urad dal turns a golden brown, add the cut raw bananas. Mix well and roast on low flame until almost soft. Keep stirring to avoid burning. This will take about 5-7 mins.

4. Add the ground masala paste with some salt and mix well. Keep on low flame and cook till the ingredients come together and the raw bananas are cooked through.

Serve with rice and any kozhambu of choice.

A must-try for all vazhakkai lovers!

    Keep stirring until all the ingredients you have added stick together and look almost done. I know it's hard to know what I mean if you are new to (indian) cooking but I am not sure how to explain this better. just check to see if the raw bananas are cooked and soft and you should be ok.

    I am so intrigued by the texture of this dish – I've never eaten or cooked with raw bananas before. I hope you don't mind, but I've shared this in my Friday Food Fetish blog post…

    We normally make this dish with dry roasted ingredients. Adding tamarind is someting that I do, when I cook the vegetables in tamarind water.I try and cut my vazhakkai pieces small so they roast soon! Lovely shots nags!

    Something i would love. I liked the way you didn't peel off the skin completely . I like retaining the whole skin too, but peel off a thin sliver when its blackened a bit.

    Hi Nags, knowing that you are part of the free spirit blogger – and realising that you are soon to clone a coffee shop drink – has me excited. I am new to Singapore (if that is what you would call someone who has been here 7 months) and I have been to places that you reviewed and I have been extremely happy with the suggestions. I can't wait to see which coffee shop drink you plan to clone.
