If you are looking for some simple sidedish to prepare in the busy mornings, then this raw banana fry recipe is the best choice. The spices can be altered as per your taste buds and you can prepare it as no onion, no garlic recipe also. I usually prepare this vazhakkai fry / valakkai varuval at least once in a week for my kids lunch box and it goes very well with curd rice, lemon rice and all sambar varieties.
