Banana flower, kelechi phool, vazhapoo is very good for health. After making the subzi, I thought of making the rice with the flower as my children will not eat if I give them the subzi. Any kind of pulao, rice varieties are eaten by them even though they do not eat the subzi. The only way to make them eat is parathas, pulao, biryani etc. in which I can dump any amount of vegetables which goes into their stomach without any problem.
The rice along with the onion raita, papad, pickle was awesome.
Let us look at the recipe now:
1 cup vazhapoo (Banana flower, kelechi phool)
1 cup rice
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
3/4 tsp garam masala powder
2 tbsp grated fresh coconut
1 tbsp ghee + 1 tbsp oil (you can increase according to your requirement)
salt
(masalas add according to your requirement)
Method:
Wash and cook the rice, spread it on a plate to cool. Clean the flower, chop them finely. While cleaning and chopping the flowers, apply a coat of salt on your palm and on the chopping board to prevent stain on the board as well on your hand. Put the chopped flowers in the water with salt, turmeric powder and butter milk (1 tsp salt + 3 tsp butter milk). Wash them thoroughly and cook directly with salt and turmeric powder till water evaporates from it. Do not add much water. Heat a kadai, add the oil and ghee when it becomes hot, add the cooked banana flower, saute for a minute, add in the red chilli powder, garam masala, fresh coconut and mix well. add in the rice, check the salt, if required add more. mix well. serve hot with onion raita, papad,pickle.
