Noolpputtu / Idiyappam with Pazham / Banana Sweet Curry

I hadn't seen this this curry until I visit mom this time.Fresh coconut milk with sugar is the most common accompanying dish for noolputtu in our place. Some take chicken curry or potato stew with it.
Once our neighbour called my father and his brother for breakfast on next day of his daughter's marriage. It is a usual custom among us to invite neighbors, relatives and friends for break fast or lunch with bride groom.They had served noolputtu and this sweet curry with other dishes like pathiri , appam, meat curries and other palaharams (snacks) etc. The men folk did not know what is this yellowish dish and they poured it to their plate with other spicy curries. Imagine the rest... :D
May be this dish is common in any other place and if you know how is it called please leave a message.. :)

  11. :) we make this "curry" often but mostly with the regular puttu. My mom just boils the cut banana slices with a dash of sugar and some grated coconut and elakai. There should be some watery gravy left to mix into the puttu.
