One of my favourite afterschool snack!I use only maida for batter,Next time i will do in your way.
Pazham pori is the true fast food of Kerala. Esp in trains!! :)
Yumm.. pazham pori..my favorite. I can never find ripe plantains here :-(
i like it in sugar syrup too. lovely dish prav:)
Kitchenfairy : I feel with rice flour batter it tastes best than with maida. Try and tell me if you feel so too.
I agree with you Jyothsna. So simple..yet so tasty.
Sig : Just buy unripe plantain and bury it inside a rice bag. Cover fully with rice.Or you can wrap plantains in empty gunny rice bags. In some days it will become ripe. I do the same.
Sia : Thanks. Yes it is delicious.
Looks fabulous Pravs!!Maida is a twist to the normal batter.YUM!!:))
hah...pazham pori...any day , anytime..I think we had 'em almost everyday as evening snacks during our last vacation ....but we use maida as the main batter and then add 1 tbsp rice flour to bring in the crispiness....
Shn
Thanks Asha.
Mishmash : One time when i was making pazham pori at in-laws place, I was going ahead to make batter with more maida and less rice flour, when my MIL told me, to use more of rice flour and less of maida combo for batter. It turned out so nice. The rice flour taste with pazham is so nice.

I love this recipe.The fritters taste so good. I normally use only rice flour & add a pinch of cardamom too.Will try this out the next time.
Yummmmmm. I remember waiting for the third day (fm Delhi it was the 3rd day) to come to have the piping hot pazham poris at the stations. One was surely not enough then. I guess today, will have to make do with just one.
while in school i used to love going by train just to eat the pazham pori, have been wanting to make them for a while, but i never used to get nendram pazham in the place i used to live earlier. now i can try it out.
