Vazhaipoo kuzhambu recipe was in my to-do list for years I should say. It is also known as Saiva meen kulambu in Tamil. As we all know cleaning and chopping vazhaipoo/Banana flower is the most time consuming job that tests our patience. But when we see its health benefits, we won’t feel lazy to do. Just watch some movie or megaaaa serial. This job will become much more easy.
Choosing & buying a proper vazhaipoo is itself an art. Last few times when I bought banana flower, it was too bitter, I couldn’t prepare anything with it and finally I had to throw it out. So I have made a separate post with some tips for buying & cleaning vazhaipoo with stepwise pictures & health benefits. For this gravy, you don’t need to use the entire flower as we need only the tender white part.
Usually I make vazhaipoo usili or poriyal whenever I buy plantain flower. As we are bored of it, I tried Vazhaipoo vadai & this kuzhambu recipe for the first time. Both were awesome in taste. The best part is Sendhil & Raksha ate very well . Its a very easy one pot gravy. There is no chopping or grinding process. Only thing is you have to extract one cup of coconut milk. As I had readymade storebought coconut milk powder in hand, my job became very simple and i made this gravy within 15 minutes.
This gravy tastes the best when mixed with plain rice topped with ghee ! Moreover this gravy is very healthy and the tender bud & flower parts are very good for stomach ulcers.The combination of coconut milk makes it more healthy.Just try this gravy once for a change from the usual vazhaipoo recipes.U may love it like us.
