Vazhai Poo Kola Beetroot Kola Banana flower curry
Achi’s are known for making good use of banana flower which is a rather cheap item available by making mouth watering dishes out of this. Moreover banana flower is known to be very good for health. One of the tastier items made using this according to me is vazhai poo vadai and vazhai poo kola. As many are afraid of deep fried items kola is a good choice. Any item made out of this is little laborious and time consuming since taking the thick ball like nerve out of each flower itself is a big job. Then the flower has to be minced or cut to very small pieces. If you are patient enough to do all these, then a good dish is on the cards.
The same kola can be prepared using grated beetroot instead of banana flower. So those who don’t want all the strain can try using beetroot. I always find that easy

Ingredients1 banana flower withy petals cleaned and nicely minced
1 big onion minced
Grated coconut-1 table spoon
Curry leaf-little
For grinding
Thoor dhal-1 small cup
Red chilli-5
Fennel seeds-1 teaspoon
(Soak these items for 15 minutes and coarsely grind in the small jar without much water)
Procedure
Take the grinded dhal and add the minced banana flower, onion, turmeric powder, coconut and the salt needed. Mix well. If you have a microwave, cook it inside that for five minutes. Remove it from the oven mix well and again cook for 5 minutes. Now everything will be well cooked. Those who don’t have a microwave can steam the mix in an idly pot. After cooking like this, keep the kadai in the stove .In 2 to 3 table spoons of cooking oil season the curry with a teaspoon of fennel seed and curry leaf. Add the cooked mix and cook in low fire stirring frequently. The mix should turn like puttu without water content. The mix if left without stirring will get burnt and catch at the bottom of the kadai. If necessary little more oil can be added. This will take 10 to 12 minutes to get done in medium fire. But for sure all this pain will get you a great name from your loved ones for serving them something delicious.
