Vazhai thandu(Plantain pith) thuvaram/stir fry Vazhai thandu thuvaram is one of my all time favourite side dish for meals. Vazhai thandu has a good source of fiber, pottasium, phosphorus, B6 and calcium. Having banana stem in our food will prevent constipation and ulcer problems as it contains lots of fiber. Most of time when I cook vazhai thandu(plantain pith) in the deep vessel there is a lot of leftover juice that end up going to a healthy soup. Vazhai thandu(plantain pith) likes to retain its water, so drain the water completely or give it a slight squeeze with your hands after draining. Precooked vazhai thandu(plantain pith) is the best for thuvaram and salads. This method also helps to remove its woodiness in the stem.
