Vaazhai Poo Cutlet

Banana Flower Cutlet/Vaazha Poo Cutlet

Ingredients:

1.5 cup of chopped banana florets
1 medium potato
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1/4 tsp cumin
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
2 green chilli (finely chopped)
1 inch ginger (finely chopped)
1 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp corn flour
1 cup bread crumbs
salt to taste
Oil to shallow fry cutlets

Method:

Boil the potato to the consistency that it can be mashed. Also cook the chopped banana florets in little salt and turmeric.

Heat a little oil in a pan and add cumin, then add chopped ginger, garlic and green chilli. Fry for a minute and then add the chopped onion and fry until it turns light brown. Now add mashed potato and the cooked banana florets. Also add garam masala and salt to taste.

Cook to the consistancy where you can make cutlets out of it (no water and can be formed into cutlet shapes). Mix corn flour in a little water and make a paste to think consistancy.

Make cutlets out of it, dip in corn flour mix and then in bread crumbs. Shallow fry in a non-stick pan with little oil. Fry until both the sides are browned up.

Server as a snack or a side dish.
