Banana stem dishes is a healthy. It helps detoxification. This looks difficult to cut but not at all. I feel it is quite easy process. Banana stem makes variety of dishes like (curd raita, spicy curry, thove etc will come up next post). In Sri vaishnavism Iyengar cooking is not prepared on normal/ regular days. This is typical thirvidhyanam (death anniversary) dish. But now a days everyone came to know it is very healthy rich in fiber so can starts doing on the regular days.
