Vazhaithandu Mor Kootu | Plantain Stem Curry in Yogurt Sauce

Banana tree is the only plant which is useful to us from leaves to stem. Plantain stem is a nutritional rich veggie. It is rich in fiber and very good diet for diabetic patients too. This Plantain Stem Stew (Vazhathandu kootu) is a delicious and healthy dish. Generally many of us find it difficult or lazy to cook plantain stem because of its fibrous nature. To chop the Plantain stem, we need little more patience. We have to put more efforts to cook Plantain stem and Plantain flower, but once we are done with the chopping, then preparation of the dish is quite simple. This curd based Plantain Stem Curry is so delicious and is a perfect sidedish for any spicy Kuzhambu / rasam variety!

My son loved it so much that he had it the day after it was made ,told my mother in law that he would be finishing it and not to lay a finger on it because it was so delicious! So you do understand how much of an impact the mor Kootu had on all of us, thank you 🙏, you’ve made my day

Ma’am, your mor Kootu has such a fascination for my family and myself that when I saw that I have vazhaithandu, I’ve chopped it up in preparation for the mor Kootu, and I also want you to know that I make dangar and keep an amount of it after seeing your recipe, thank you 🙏

[@Subbuskitchenpage]

Yes, definitely. With cucumber, white pumpkin also we can make 😊🙏

[@gayathrichandrasekaran771]

Tasty and yummy this is for side dish or can we eat with rice? Thank u

[@Subbuskitchenpage]

We can also eat with rice. But generally served with Spicy Kuzhambu

[@svenkateshmoorthy7846]

Awesome
What is the last time added while grinding?

[@Subbuskitchenpage]

Thanks 🙏😊 I added besan while grinding.

[@venkatalakshmisrinath4366]

Ma’am, I have a variant if you don’t possess besan: soak Chana dal and rice together in hot water and then grind it with the other ingredients to make the paste. The only thing is that you have to add more water to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the vessell

[@Subbuskitchenpage]

Nice tip 👍 Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@thyagarajant.r.3256]

@@Subbuskitchenpage what is spl about besan?can any other flour be used?

[@svenkateshmoorthy7846]

Super Madam
Can we make Ash guard using the same ingredients instead of Banana stem

[@Subbuskitchenpage]

Yes surely we can replace banan stem with ash gourd

[@svenkateshmoorthy7846]

I tried out with banana stem, the taste
was awesome. Thanks once again.
Will try with the same ingredients using snake guard and Ash guard.

[@sharmesh28]

Can anything else be substituted for vaazhathandu?

[@Subbuskitchenpage]

Yes we can use snakegourd, chowchow, peerkangai
