Hey folks today I made vazhaipoo vadai for evening snacks. Cleaning vazhaipoo is easy but many of my friends doesn't know how to use it. So posting this for beginners in cooking.
Whole banana tree can be used in many ways and also each and every part of the tree is healthy for our body.
Leaves,flower,raw banana,fruit,steam. Banana leaves are used for cooking (ilai kozhukattai),serving foods(you can see in many traditional functions in South India).
Here goes how to clean banana flower. Hope this will help.
Ingredients:
Vazhaipoo/banana flower
Sesame oil for greasing your hands
Method:
Take a big plate and grease your hands using sesame oil.
Open the petals one by one and remove the florets.
Rub it in your palm. You can see the stamen(stem like one) and cover like portion. These are the ones you have to remove it before cooking.
Repeat this. At one stage you can't remove those those florets can be used as it is.
Finally you'll get small white cone shaped tender flower. Eat it as it is. It's healthy and good for stomach ulcer.
Chop the florets and cook any recipes using it.
Notes:
You can clean this a before and place this in Ziploc bag and refrigerate it or chop it and soak it in buttermilk.

Collect big florets separately and smaller florets separately.
Repeat this.At one stage you can't remove those stamens and cover like one it can be used as it is.
Finally you'll get small white cone shaped tender flower. Eat it as it is. It's healthy and good for stomach ulcer.
Rub it in your palm and you can see stamen and cover like one.
Just pull both of it to remove.
Now its removed. This has to be used.
