Found Gita's Banana stem and Banana flower recipe most authentic and relevant - among the so many recipes available on TH-cam. Her method to explain and still stay true to the Indian kitchen is commendable.
Dear gitaji, Good evening. First thing I would like to say is that, you explain the process of cooking any recipe so well that when ever I want to know about any recipe I just choose your channel . Thank you so much for explaining the vazhapoo parupusili step by step. thanks once again Usha
Thank you so much for this video, Aunty. I stay away from home and although I love both banana flower and stem, I've avoided cooking because I had no idea how to clean. This has helped me loads. Thank you!
I love this unlimited. My grandma made this.Unfortunately my mom never learned so I never got the recipe. You are my savior for all childhood recipes. God bless you.🙏🏻
Hi Gitaji, thanks for bringing back childhood memories. I have been out of India for 40 years and am trying to re-learn the cuisine of my youth. My wife is from Lucknow, and UP food is as simple as ours, and as rich. But since I am a blue blooded Tamilian, I prefer the aroma, the spice, the subtlety and nuances in South Indian cooking. There is one dish that I still remember from circa 1955. My grandmother had a huge almond tree in her home in Tiruchirappalli. She used those leaves to make something called elai vadam. I vaguely remember that there was some steaming involved. It was delicious. Of course, this is academic, since there is no way I can get almond leaves here. Thanks again for the re-education and your wonderful way of elucidating the process.
oh yes.. very tasty too. but you can use any leaf even banana leaf is fine for steaming.. nowadays we also get steel plates in for steaming Elaines vadams!
Thank u Dear Mother. I have never eaten this but I am going to cook it.. U are a sweet Inspiration to me.. Love your videos. Love from South Africa Mum. God bless you 🙏❤️💐 Thank u.
Thank you, Gita ji. I just cut off the banana flower this afternoon and knowing there must be a recipe for it I checked your channel. Will make the curry tomorrow morning!
Am so happy to have found this! You remind me of so many of my aunts and my mom too Gitaji! Your channel is a treasure even for Tamil Iyer women like myself, who have been raised on this type of cooking and can even cook quite well! I have never made vazha poo anything because of not knowing how to clean it...even amma has never made it at home! You are simple, efficient, affectionate, sweet, precise, intelligent and very focussed on making a completely informative and detailed video. I am so proud of you Gitaji (incidentally my mom is also Geetha Rajagopalan and lives in bangalore, I live in dubai!). And your channel is a library for posterity, its a real service! More power to you!
Mam, Thank you so much, always I watch your recipes and loved it, but this recipe was the best one I liked the way you explained. I personally knew the benefits was not aware how to cook, the way you prepared so easily I am eager to make....Thank you Mam for healthy recipe,, , , Keep Posting tasty and healthy recipes....
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Thank you for sharing the fact that banana flower is good for treating pcos/ pcod. I will definitely include it in my diet as I have pcod. Thank you Aunty!! :) love you !
The tip of applying oil to fingertips really helped. But have to say that this is such a laborious activity that I don't know if I will ever attempt it again!
Mam, ones I bought this flower to make baji, and not knowing how to clean it , I cut the flower as well as this purple big petals too, after that till today I never bought it, thanks for this recipe
Namaskaram Gita ji. Wonderful recipes, and presentation as always. Showing the cleaning procedure was very helpful. But mostly o was feeling gratitude to all the many ladies who had prepared the very special vazhaipoo usli for me during my summer visits. How kind they were to take so much trouble to give me a special treat! Thank you so much for educating us and sharing these wholesome values with us all.
Madam happy new tear to you and mama. I just your 12 tips too I too follow it and that keeps me going great . Actually the birth of my grandson kept me so busy that I didn't realise you had not posted anything recently. By the way with banana fliwer you chopped the cow. Bit here in jar nataji that part is fully chopped and cooked in tamarind water. And urad dal, chenna dal, dry red chillies, are fried and ground along with boiled fliwer with salt to taste, a bit jaggery and ing and a tempering is made. This chutney tastes very good with disai, rice, chapatti etc. Please do try. Thank you mam.
I had noted this recipe and tried the first one today. It came out so well. Everyone at home enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for this recipe. Will try the other recipe next time.
Madam... Very very nice n excellent receipe. U too look so lovely n pleasing. Jus hav become ur fan .I do watch n follow all ur recepies . A bundle of thanks to you Madam. Be Blessed Always.

While chopping banana flower Instead of buttermilk & water we can use normal water with 1 teaspoon of turmeric dissolved in water.....
