Pazham pori also known as ethakka appam and bekkachi is a fritter food with ripened banana or plantain[1] and maida flour. A popular food item in South Indian cuisines, it is generally eaten as a breakfast or a snack.[1][2] It is called as Balekayi bajji in Kannada, Vazhakkay bajji in Tamil, and Aratikaya bajji in Telugu.
Preparation[edit]
Pazham pori is principally made from bananas or plantain. Plantains are slit lengthwise after peeling and is dipped into a batter made from all purpose flour, salt, turmeric powder and sugar. This is then deep fried in oil until golden brown.[3] In the other South Indian states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, it is however prepared using besan flour.
Serving[edit]
Pazham pori is served usually along with tea or chai as a snack in the evening. In some restaurants pazham pori is served along with beef.[4]
