Nenthra pazam nirachathu

#winterfruits Banana is yet again a winter fruit of India where they are at their peak season! NENTHRA PAZHAM is a specific type of Kerala banana. Nenthra is the name of this variety and pazham means banana. This banana has a different flavour from the regular ones and it is equally delicious. I was lucky to get this from a shop selling only Keralite products. I bought them completely raw. They took exactly nine days to ripen.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To make the Nenthra pazham nirachathu, first we need to prepare it’s stuffing. In a heavy bottomed pan heat together the grated coconut, oats and jaggery, stirring till the jaggery melts. Add the cardamom powder and mix well. Set aside until use.

* Step 2

Peel the bananas and cut into three equal pieces. Here you can avoid cutting the banana and use it as it is. Make a vertical slit in each piece or the whole banana, leaving about a centimetre at the end.

* Step 3

Stuff about one to two teaspoons of the prepared mixture into each and set aside.

* Step 4

Heat a pan and add the ghee to it.

* Step 5

Add the stuffed bananas to the pan and shallow fry on low flame. Cover and cook on one side, then remove lid and flip the banana to cook the other side as well.
