Pazham Pori ! The street snack of Kerala !

My tryst with cooking started when i was in Singapore ; however since there were many Indian Restaurants in Singapore i actually started to explore cooking only after moving to Tokyo - Japan in 2012.
There is a saying that "IF YOU ARE PUSHED INTO WATER YOU WILL LEARN TO SWIM".

Today we will explore PAZHAM PORI - RIPE PLANTAIN FRITTERS.





Pazham Pori is a beauty !
Peel the skin of the Plantain. 
Slice the Plantain into finger length pieces.
You can make 6 pieces with one Plantain.





Add 3/4th cup of water to 1/2 cup Maida ; add sugar ; cardamom ; sesame and 1/2 table spoon turmeric powder to form a batter.
The more sweet the Plantain is - The less sugar you need.






Dip the plantain slices in  sweetened floor and then deep fry them in coconut oil.




Pazham Pori !



Its not PARAM PORI - ITS PAZHAM PORI.
Its not RA its ZHA....

If you cannot pronounce PAZHAM PORI than follow SWIGGY UNCLE'S TRICK.
In order to pronouce pazham pori accurately - put a piece of pazham pori inside your mouth and then say PAZHAM PORI while the snack is still inside your mouth.





If you think Malayalam is difficult then listen to Sonu Nigam's Malayalam Accent.
100% ACCURACY in Malayalam Accent without any snack inside his mouth !
