Vazhaipoo Vadai – Banana Flower Fritters 印度脆炸香蕉花小饼的小贴士

My Notes: You can use the same ingredients and method for senaikelangu/yam vadai(only difference is you dont need to pressure cook it, instead you have to saute it before grinding to a paste) to avoid itching. Make sure that the mix is not too dry then your vadais would be hard. Do not add more potukadalai and rice flour than the above mentioned quantity. Cook in medium flame else it will not get cooked inside. Drain water completely from vazhaipoo, squeeze to remove excess water.If there is moisture in the dough then the vadais will drink more oil. Also squeeze onion to remove water then add it to the mixing bowl. I fried few vadais for clicking and refrigerated the rest for later use. Grinding vazhaipoo is optional but it will help holding shape else it will start spreading out in oil. Add salt and onion just before frying the vadais else it will leave out water.
