I heard about vazhaipoo (banana flower/kudappan/vazha chundu) vadai for the first time in the movie "Kandukondin Kandukondein"and wanted to give it a try. I used to make cutlet with vazhappo, but vada was something new and turned out to be tastier than cutlet.
1. Split peas dal(peas parippu) - 1/2 cup
2. Vazhaipoo - 1/2 cup (chopped and washed in butter milk, then in turmeric water and 3-4 times in water )
3. Green chilli chopped - 1
4. Curry leaves chopped - 7-8 leaves
5. Garlic chopped - 1 clove
6. Ginger chopped - 1 tea spoon
7. Onion chopped - 2 table spoon
8. Garam masala or fennel powder - 1 pinch
9. Salt
10. Oil - for frying
METHOD
1. Soak the dal for 2 hours and allow the water to drain.
2. Cook the vazhaipoo in microwave high for 1 minute after mixing with a pinch of salt and 1/4 tea spoon oil.
3. Grind the dal coarsely with salt and garam masala powder. Add vazhaipoo, onion, chilli, garlic , ginger and curry leaves and mix.
4. Heat oil in a pan (medium high). Take a lemon sized ball of vazhaipoo - dal mixture and shape like parippu vada. Deep fry in oil and drain on paper towel.
