Hi kamala,
Nice to see so good recipes. I have a doubt…if we add coconut milk for the plantain to cook, will it not cuddle? Started to cook the same with the doubt…thanks.
Hi,
Thank you for visiting my blog. When we cook the banana in THIN coconut milk with water, it will not curdle. After the banana is cooked, we are adding the THICK milk. After adding thick milk, it is sufficient just to allow it to boil once. In this way, it will not curdle and you will get a aromatic paal kuzhambu.
