Sutta Vaazhaikai podi

Vaazhaikai podi is very old recipe  prepared  my granny , mom , it is  our favourite recipe too. My grand ma   put this vaazhaikai  in   venneer aduppu which they use to heat hot water to take bath.My mom  used to roast in direct flame in  gas stove , I too follow the  very same  . Some   used to steam  the vaazhaikai  in cooker without adding water , then preparing  in the usual way .When we roast directly over the gas stove this gives   smoky  flavour too for this podi which we like very much.
Ingredients:
 Raw banana ( vaazhai kai ) -- 2
Red chillies  --  7 or 8
 Kadalai paruppu  - 3  tsp
 Urad dal  -  3 tsp
 Salt  - to taste
 Tamarind  - 1 gooseberry size
Hing  - small katti ( little more )
 oil -  1 tsp

 Method :
           In kadai add the oil and roast  kadalai paruppu ,  urad dal . rechillies , hing , remove from fire then add tamarind ,  allow to cool  .In a mixie add the roasted ingredients  and salt  and  grind  coarsely .In the meanwhile , roast the vaazhaikai  in  direct flame on the gas stove  till the skin becomes  black . Then remove the skin , mash it by hand . Then add  this in the mixie with the  powder and give a   whip for  2 sec, if we do for more time  then it will become mashy . Give   just a whip  to get a  podi structure .  we can  mix  this  podi  in hot rice  with a dash of gingly oil  ,  or  we  can use  as a side dish for  curd rice , This recipe  is forgotten  one.
