How to make Vazhaithandu salad | banana stem salad

This vazhaithandu salad or the banana stem salad which is also called as the banana stem chat is a healthy salad/chat recipe that helps in people to lose weight easily.

Vazhaithandu or the banana stem plays a vital role in most of the weight loss recipes as it is very high in fiber and also helps in curing kidney stones.

In most South Indian cooking, banana stem is used in different dishes and is also consumed raw sometimes. It is so beneficial to eat them raw as the whole fiber is taken directly. Such kind of recipe is what we are going to see today.

Some people do not like to eat raw, so if we prepare the banana stem in this method, they could not identify it as the banana stem as we mix them with different other veggies and fruits in this vazhaithandu salad.

The vazhaithandu salad | banana stem salad is very easy to make and here we can add our own favorite veggies and fruits. To get some crunchiness here, i have added corn flakes. If you like, you can add some mint chutney, green Chutey or some dates chutney or even the tomato sauce.

But here I have added only some chopped dates to give some sweetness and restricted to veggies only, as I prepare this for weightloss recipe.

How to make peanut chat snack | Marina Beach peanut masala chat

Whenever I go Marina beach I never forget to buy this peanut chat snack, chilli mango and the soan papdi. These 3 are must for me in my childhood days. This is so easy to make yet they taste tasty and healthy too as it does not contain any oil.

We can prepare this easily at home and eat as a evening snack and can give to kids after they cone from school.

For this peanut chat there is no definite ingredients or the measurements. You can add your own favorite veggies and add your favourite sauces like tomato sauce, green chutney or the dates chutney. But here I have not added chutney or sauces and made it very simple.

In this chat I have added both green chillies and the chilli powder and because of that, they taste bit spicy. But if you are giving to the children, you can avoid these two and give them.
