    Valakkai Paruppu Usili / Raw Banana Paruppu Usili is a traditional Dish. It is generally prepared with lentils and vegetables. French Beans, Broad Beans, Banana Flowers are generally used in Paruppu Usili. Today I have used raw banana to prepare the Paruppu usili. Usili can be had with Rasam Rice or Curd Rice or Mor Kuzhambu (curd Curry) or any other mild curries with rice.

    Notes

    • After chopping the Raw Banana Place them in water or it turns dark.
    • The Raw Banana is greasy while peepling hence grease your hands and knife with coconut oil so that the color does not stick everywhere.
    • The amount of time required to steam the idlis depends on the size of the idlis. Mine is medium sized and it took 7 minutes to cook.
    • Scramble the idlis after they cool down or it would not scramble properly.
