Okay so as i told earlier ......i'm sharing a healthy recipe made of Banana Stem..which i think probably most of you might have never had ...but gotta say this is a 100% healthy recipe...now why would say healthy it's because the main ingredient that i've used here that is,Banana stem called as Vazhapindi in Kerala,is actually rich in fiber content.it also improves bowl movement and act as good laxative....also it helps to eliminate and treat Kidney stones....and removes toxins from the body...okay ladies might like this point what i'm telling...a Banana stem also helps to cool the body and is good for weight loss....phew...that's too much of good facts right!!
My Mom mostly prepares this dish for Lunch ....And we use to have it with red rice.but i like my Uncle's version,it's because he make it a little more spicier than my Grandma's and Mom's version.i'm thinking of making it one day and will hope to give it a twist ..but the one i'm sharing here with you is my Mom's version ...
