Banana tree is the only plant which is useful to us from leaves to stem. Plantain stem is a nutritional rich veggie. Every part of the banana tree is useful… including the Banana stem (Vazhai thandu). Banana stem has lot of medicinal properties too. Doctors recommend banana stem juice for kidney stone problems. It is rich in fiber and very good diet for diabetic patients too. This Vazhaithandu Mor Kootu, is a delicious and healthy dish. Generally many of us find it difficult or lazy to cook plantain stem because of its fibrous nature. To chop the Plantain stem, we need little more patience. We have to put more efforts to cook Plantain stem and Plantain flower, but once we are done with the chopping, then preparation of the dish is quite simple.
We can make many different recipes with Vazhaithandu (Plantain Stem). You can try Vazhaithandu Poricha Kuzhambu, Vazhaithandu Poriyal, Vazhaithandu Kootu, Vazhathandu Bajji. This Mor Kootu is much similar to Mor Kuzhambu. We need to prepare a coconut-spice paste. We have to cook Vazhaithandu mix with yogurt and spice paste and then bring it to boil and then complete it with tempering. Apart from chopping vazhaithandu, the rest of the procedure is quick and simple to make.
We can serve this delicious Mor Kootu with hot steaming rice along with spicy kuzhambu like Milagu Kuzhambu, Kothamalli Kuzhambu, Vathakuzhambu, Karivepilai Kuzhambu or any rasam variety and enjoy this mouth-watering combo.

Tips:
- Do not exclude besan. Besan holds the coconut-spice paste and the curd together
- Also for first 5 mins, we need to continuously stir the curd-spice-veggie mixture to avoid splitting of curd
