Banana Stem Pickle – Traditional South Indian Style | High Fibre | Less Oil

Pickles are a loved part of every South Indian meal, but most of them are heavy on oil and salt. Our banana stem pickle brings back the authentic, home-style taste you remember from your grandmother’s kitchen, with a lighter touch. Made with tender banana stem, it is a high-fibre, less-oil pickle that adds bold flavour to your plate without weighing it down.

What Is Banana Stem Pickle?

The banana stem, known as vazhaithandu in Tamil, vazhapindi in Malayalam and aratikaya dum in Telugu, is the soft inner core of the banana plant. It has been part of traditional South Indian cooking for generations and is valued for its natural fibre content and cooling properties. In this pickle, the stem is cut finely and blended with traditional spices, so it stays crunchy, tangy and full of flavour.

Traditional Taste, Modern Healthy Choice

Today’s families want food that tastes like home and fits a healthier lifestyle. This pickle is made for exactly that. It suits people who watch their oil intake, look for fibre-rich foods or simply love authentic regional flavours. Whether you are a working professional, a homemaker, a student living away from home or someone returning to millet-based eating, this pickle makes every meal more satisfying.

How to Use

Banana stem pickle is ready to eat straight from the jar. Enjoy it with:

• Hot steamed rice and a drizzle of ghee
• Curd rice, where its tang pairs well with cool, creamy curd
• Millet-based meals such as foxtail, kodo, little millet or barnyard millet
• Dosa, idli, chapati or paratha as a side
• Lemon rice, tamarind rice or sambar rice

A small spoonful is enough to lift the whole meal.

Storage Tips

Store in a cool, dry place. Always use a clean, dry spoon, and close the lid tightly after every use. Refrigeration is recommended after opening to keep the pickle fresh for longer.
