Vazhaithandu sweet pachadi recipe

vazhaithandi-pachadi-recipe
Vazhaithandu sweet pachadi with banana stem, tamarind, jaggery, coconut as main ingredients. With step by step pictures.

Whenever I buy banana stem, I make vazhaithandu poriyal most of the times. Very rarely I have made vazhaithandu kootu, sambar or mor kuzhambu. I knew mom makes sweet pachadi with it. I vaguely remember the taste. Was thinking of trying out, so last week had little vazhaithandu left after making poriyal. It was too less for making poriyal again and am not a big fan of sambar with it.

So thought would make pachadi with it just for me and Vj. I followed the same way as I make mango pachadi, just added tamarind as vazhaithandu needs some tangy touch. Turned out really good and I had as such. Goes well with vathal kuzhambu, puli kuzhambu or sambar.
