Vazhaithandu-Carrot-Soup

#VazhaithanduCarrotSoup : #BananaStem is called #Vazhaithandu in Tamil. It is rich in fiber and diuretic in nature. It is rich in potassium and Vitamin B6. It is very low in cholestrol so those who are on diet can consume lot. It is advisable to include vazhaithandu in our daily diet in some form.

Then add chopped garlic followed by chopped onion.
Saute for a minute and then add grated carrot, boiled green peas and nicely chopped vazhaithandu.

Simmer till carrot and vazhaithandu becomes tender.
After that add oats and allow to simmer till the liquid turns to porridge consistency.
