Vazhakkai Cherupayar curry
Vazhakkai Cherupayar curry is made with raw banana and green gram. Cooked with coconut oil and topped with some freshly grated coconut gives out an authentic malabar taste.
My mom makes this curry very often and when i make this at home, I use sprouted green gram, and the taste is so good when sprouts are added. Whenever we cook raw banana, we use to discard the water used for boiling, I know some of the nutrients may get lost but doing this will avoid gastric problem caused by raw banana.
