METHOD:
Cut the banana stem into roundels and take out the fibre. Cut them into cubes. and put the chopped vazhaithandhu into water. Add 1 tblsp of butter milk to this water. this is to avoid the change of colour the veggie. Mine was slightly dark as the vazhaithandhu was like that only. I chopped it previous night and kept in the refrigerator. Before making, drain out the water and add the chopped vazhaithandhu to the pan. Add salt to this and cook in a medium flame. do not add water. If u need, just sprinkle 1 tblsp of water. This will get cooked soon.
Meanwhile, grind the coconut, green chilli and jeera into a fine paste. If needed add little water to this.
Add this ground paste to the cooked vazhaithandhu. Mix well. Just let it boil for a minute.
Temper with mustard seeds , urad dal and red chilli. Just before serving beat the yogurt and add it to the morkootu. Garnish with fresh curry leaves.
Serve with any spicy gravy. We had with Applam Vatha kuzhambhu.
