Banana Flower has immense medicinal benefits in it that it is a must have vegetable in our diet. Source of fibers, proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and flavonoids.

  • Helps to heal wounds and infections faster
  • Helps keep Blood Pressure under control
  • Helps Lower Cholesterol
  • Helps reduce excessive bleeding during mensuration
  • Heals wounds and helps recover faster and strengthens uterus after delivery – postpartum

The list will continue. Am so fond of it just because of its goodness. Only thing you got to take time to clean them but they are worth it!

This Vazhaipoo Kulambu is an inspiration from my Mom’s Mysore rasam and Pepper kulambu recipes. I make Vazhaipoo thoran very often that i wanted to try making curry this time in my Mom’s Style. Banana flower kootu is also one of the best option for rice. Vazhaipoo vadai for snack is always a hit at our home 🙂
