Pazham nirachathu (Stuffed banana)
It’s also another Malabar dish serve especially during iftar time (Ramadan fasting breaking time). It’s a sweet dish with coconut and sugar mixture inside the banana. It is a nutritious snack so you can give your kids this as evening snack.
I know my photos are not appealing also I am not a good photographer but one thing I can tell that its taste is super.
