Re: Plaintain Flower Curry one more type Krishnamma, All the flower recipes are super. The problem is I dont get any of the flower except vazaipoo, that too rarely. I will try the vazaipoo recipe next time.
Re: Plaintain Flower Curry one more type Krishnaamma, Simply superb !! Like Vidu... me too did not get anything here !
Re: Plaintain Flower Curry one more type Krishnamma, All the flower recipes are super.both r good for health. I will try the vazaipoo pitlai recipe & let u know.
Re: Plaintain Flower Curry one more type Dont worry samayal, whenever it is possible you can prepare them. till that ( here also we get only vazhai poo , that too rarely ) let us prepare cauliflower dishes; which we get plenty.Big Laugh
Re: Plaintain Flower Curry one more type Yes gowri, we loose many things when we are away from our own place. bonkMy husband use to get Vazhai poo, vazhai thandu, aagathi keerai etc., when he visits India. we enjoy all those foods there. what todo?
Re: Plaintain Flower Curry one more type try and give a feed back. it will taste great. we can reduce oil in this dish. because if you prepare parapu usali or vazhai poo vadi means it will consume more oil. instead try this, you can get full goodness of vazhai poo.
I'm glad to know that we are so creative when it comes in meals and dishes, now on they use flowers to design on your meal and for that was a good idea.
