Vazhaipoo Roti

Here is another recipe with vazhaipoo (banana blossom) came out from my mom's cookbook. I purposely bought two blossoms this time for making Vazhaipoo Kootu and roti. This is little modified version of Akki Roti which tastes great along with banana blossoms. As it takes little extra time for preparation, its better to have this as a weekend breakfast. You can clean the flower and chop them one or two days in advance to make this work much easier. But don't forget to soak them in buttermilk and refrigerate it.

Clean the flower, rough chop it and soak it in buttermilk for atleast 30 minutes. For cleaning procedure, please click here.
