One of my another favourite vegetable is vazhaipoo. As I mentioned in my earlier posts, Vazhaipoo is a very healthy and tasty vegetable. I rarely get this in Parivar (Indian Store), so whenver I get to see this immediately I get one. Cleaning of this vazhaipoo is a big process, but coz of its health benefits I never avoid to make this. Since it is time consuming, I always cut this after finish my all works and will finish it off before my kids comes from school. I have posted Vazhaipoo Vadai and Vazhaipoo Sambar now I am here for posting this proiyal recipe. It is very easy and as I told you only cleaning is a big process.
