    Banana stem is well known for its many nutritional health benefits. This vegetable is used in different forms during summer including banana stem spiced buttermilk. I have made a complete meal companion using this vegetable. Enjoy this dal mixed with rice and ghee. It is also a best accompaniment for kara kuzhambu rice, rasam rice and chapathi.

    Instructions
     

    • Pressure cook toor dal with ¼ tsp turmeric powder using required amount of water. It should not be very mushy. Cook in a way that the dal retains its shape completely.
    • Release the pressure and transfer the cooked dal into a bowl.
    • In the same cooker add chopped banana stem, ¼ tsp turmeric powder, salt, onion, green chilli, red chilli powder, garlic and ginger.
    • Add little water and pressure cook the vegetable for 2 or 3 whistles, depending on the tenderness of the vegetable.
    • Once the pressure is released, add the cooked dal into the cooked vegetable.
    • Check for salt and add some more salt if needed.
    • Boil the mixture until a thick dal consistency as given in the picture is obtained.
    • Add grated coconut when the mixture is still hot.
    • Heat oil / ghee in a small pan.
    • Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.
    • Add urad dal, pepper corns, cumin seeds one by one and allow them to fry in oil / ghee until golden brown.
    • Add a generous pinch of asafoetida, red chilli and curry leaves.
    • Turn off the stove and mix this tadka into the dal mixture.
    • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve the yummy banana stem dal as a part of your meal.

    Notes

    After you chop the banana stem, soak them in buttermilk / salt+turmeric water / water drained from rice before cooking, so that it does not turn black.
