BANANA STEM RAITA - VAZHAI THANDU THAYIR PACHADI RECIPE

Banana stem is one of the wonderful vegetable having good amount of health benefits. taking banana stem at least once in a week is very important. In this post am giving the recipe of banana stem buttermilk. Buttermilk is very good to take in summer season to reduce the body heat. Here I have given the recipe of banana stem raita.

There are variety of raitas we can make using various vegetables and even fruits. Already I have posted the radish raita. Generally in south indian meals which is specially prepared for guests or in the fuctions, raita will be must in the banana leaf. But that is a normal raita we usually prepare by adding coconut, onion and with some tempering.

Also while serving the spicy variety rice or any briyani/pulaos generally raita will be served as side dish. Because the curd in the raita will be must to reduce the effect of hotness in the food like briyani.

This banana stem raita is not only need to serve with rice; you can eat as it is. Yes, we, me and my hubby likes to eats it as it is like some mid day filling.
