Vazhakkai roast, plantain tawa fry recipe with full video, step by step pictures. This is a simple accompaniment for lunch or even can have as such.
I make vazhakkai tawa fry very often whenever I want to cook something quick as side dish for lunch. Both Vj and Aj loves this. I make this usually with my sambar powder as masala for coating. But after I made this idli podi with rice, started using it in different roasts. It turns out crispy because of rice and flavourful because of the spices that have been added in the podi.
So I have given the recipe with idli podi, you can replace this with sambar powder and rice flour.

Vazhakkai/ Plantain – 1Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
Turmeric – 1/8 tsp
Idli podi (or rice flour) – 2 tsp
Salt – As needed
Oil – As needed
Method:
- Peel the skin of plantain, wash well and slice thickly than we do for chips. You can slice into rounds or lengthwise too.
- Add red chilli powder, turmeric and salt. Mix with a tbsp of water to coat the plantain. (If using sambar powder, skip red chilli powder). Set for 10 mins.
- Add idli podi or rice flour to it and again mix gently to coat.
- Heat tawa, place the plantain over it and cook in medium flame. Just 1/2 to 1 minute. Drizzle a tsp of oil.
- Flip and cook the other side too until golden. Repeat to finish.
Notes
- If not using my idli podi with rice, you can use 1 tsp of sambar powder and 2 tsp of rice flour.
- If you even don’t have/ don’t want to use sambar powder, use red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp coriander seeds powder. You can also add a pinch of cumin seeds powder and pepper powder.
- Do not slice too thin.
