(Pazham puzhugiyathu in malayalam) I make this recipe in USA, because you can get the ripe plantains plenty here but the taste is different .I just keep in the pazhams in microwave after chopping both sides. It is very healthy breakfast and very filling too.This sweet dessert is cooked with powdered jaggery.


Netran pazham(ripe plantain………….2
Powdered Jaggery……………………1cup

Ghee…………………………………1tsp

Method

Cut the banana into 2” pieces with the skin . 
Heat a pan with little water add the jaggery powder and banana pieces.
Keep the flame in low. Cover the pan. 
Stir from time to time. 
The jaggery becomes thick and banana pieces are cooked and incorporated with jaggery well. 
Add the ghee and serve. Remove the skin and eat it.
In Kerala we prepare this very often especially children love this pazham nurukku.
This is one of the dish for Onam,
