Adi Vazhai Thandu_M
Banana stem or vazhai thandu is
very healthy and rich in fiber content. There are many benefits from
consuming banana stem. It cools the body and is also very good for
weight loss and lowers blood pressure. So it is really good to include
it at least once or twice a week in our diet. The Stem juice mixed with
butter milk and a pinch of salt is a delicious, healthy drink . It's
very good as a deterrent in preventing the formation of kidney stones.

The Bottom Banana Stem also called the
Adi_Thandu in tamil is very dense and rich in fibre content. It is a bit rare
to get this.
Use only stainless steel knife . Do not use high carbon knife as it will react with the thandu , which can be seen in the image.
Cut the banana stem into small pieces from slices as
depicted in my earlier posts. Soak the pieces in butter milk with curd.
Soak moong dahl in water for 20 minutes and keep
all other ingredients handy as shown. The ingredients are to be dry.
The addition of turmeric and grated coconut goes
well with the taste. The coconut grating to be added in the end.
Cook vazhai thandu in the normal methodology. You can
add chopped coriander leaves for taste and look.
The raita is prepared with lots of Curd and the taste
is to be enjoyed. A few Mint Leaves for taste and look.
The decanted butter milk- curd extract is
extremely good for health when taken with a pinch of salt.
