SEASONED PLANTAIN (VAZHAIKKAI PODIMAS)

Plantain or raw banana which is also known as Vazhakkai in tamil  is widely used in India.  There are umpteen number of dishes that are prepared using this Vegetable.  The Seasoned plantain or Vazhakkai podimas which I am posting today is very simple and easy to prepare.  It has very mild dry curry which is very tasty and can be served with steamed rice, rasam(Indian soup) or dhal.  

Here is spicy vazhakkai fry which I had  posted earlier  PLANTAIN ROAST.
