Vazhakkai roast recipe, vazhakkai tawa fry

Vazhakkai roast, plantain tawa fry recipe with full video, step by step pictures. This is a simple accompaniment for lunch or even can have as such.

I make vazhakkai tawa fry very often whenever I want to cook something quick as side dish for lunch. Because, this is so easy to prepare. No chopping onion, tempering part etc., but just slice, coat with spice powders and cook over tawa. And it turns out so tasty. Both Vj and Aj loves this.

🌶 Spice powders

Usually, I make it with my sambar powder as masala for coating. But after I made this idli podi with rice, started using it in different roasts. It turns out crispy because of rice and flavorful because of the spices that have been added in the podi.

So I have given the recipe with idli podi, you can replace this with sambar powder and rice flour. There are various options for the spicy masala coating. Some of my friends even grind fresh masala paste with dhaniya, coconut, fennel seeds and red chilli.

But, since this is made as comfort cooking option, I add my sambar podi. You can also use red chilli powder, dhaniya powder and turmeric alone if you do not have sambar powder.

📖 Variations

You can use a slicer (preferably with thickness adjust-able) or knife.

Cutting style - You can slice the plantain in different ways as you like. Peel the skin off and slice length wise long as such. I cut into two and slice lengthwise too.

You can adjust the thickness. Some like it thick and soft when cooked. While some like thin and crisp after roasted.

🥘 Serving suggestions

So delicious with all south Indian lunch items like sambar, kuzhambu varieties and even a simple rasam! This tastes best when had hot, but even after cooling down, the taste is good, only texture might be different.

Avoid gastric issues

• Use 2 crushed garlic
• ½ teaspoon ginger garlic paste while coating
• Use a lavish sprinkle of asafoetida
• Other spices like coriander, chilli powders also helps
