Raw Banana Tawa Fry / Vazhaikai Varuval is a awesome appetiser and also a side dish that can be served with steamed rice and rasam or sambar. It can also be served as a side dish with Variety rice recipes. Raw Banana is sliced and marinated in spicy masala. It is then fried in a tawa. Less Oil and more interesting. This is one of my personal favourite too.
