Sesame oil-1/4 tsp can be added towards the end for flavour.

Dev - that banana popsicles is originally from fingertips.com, - it used to come on Pogo or Cartoon network, and is now in their classic collection. There are lot of ideas for fun foods for kids in that site.

Selvi, just wanted to remind u of lauki kheer recipe... time kidaikum podhu post pannunga...

Ok...the recipe for vazhaithandu soup I made today... wouldn't say it's the best soup... it was ok... but there's so mmuch roomm for improvement... I'm writing the recipe here so tht I can refer to it the next time... Make sure the soup a lil hot n spicy coz thandu doesn't have any taste of its own...

Banana stem soup:

1 cup banana stem cut into 1/2 circles
1 small tomato
1/2 " gin
1 garlic
1/2 tsp peppercorns
1" pattai
salt
500 ml water

Cook all the above for 1 whistle. fish out the pattai.throw it away.
reserve 5 pieces of thandu-chop it. Grind the rest of solids to a paste. mix with the water & pass thru a sieve.

To the strained liquid add the following:
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp green chilly sauce
pepper pwd.
chopped thandu.

Let it boil for 2-3 mins. take off the froth tht forms on top of the soup.
Add in 1 tsp corn flour mixed in water. The soup shouldn't be too thick. it should still be watery after adding the corn flour mix.
Let boil for a min.
Add in chopped spring onions.
Imme take off flame.
Serve hot.

Note:
Next time I might leave out ginger & pattai. Those r not the best spices to go with thandu soup. But they were not bad either. :lol2:
