Vazhaipoo Poriyal / Banana Flower Stir Fry

Vazhipoo is in our recipe menu often as I love this recipe with green chilli as masala amd adding fresh grated coconut...This is my mom's recipe, when she came here with my sister in last vacation, my hubby brought this banana flower from our village.. I plan to make my normal poriyal which i have already posted in my blog..

But my mom told, i prepare this banana flower with green chilli and frresh coconut.. So i remove the big skin and take the florets found inside the bract, in the florets find a thick string in the middle and rubbery skin out side.. Remove both from each florets and chopped it into tiny bits.. Put into the water with little butter milk, This will avoid decolouration of the florets..I gave it my mom, she make it as a delicious, yummy and tasty poriyal.
