Fresh Banana Leaves 1stk

Banana leaf, called vazha ilai in Tamil and kela ka patta in Hindi, is the large, broad leaf of the banana plant. It has no German culinary name, as it is used purely as a natural wrapper and serving surface rather than eaten.

It is traditionally used as a plate for South Indian meals, as a wrapper for steaming certain dishes, and for festive and religious food presentations.

How to use

• Wipe the leaf clean with a damp cloth before use.
• Pass it briefly over an open flame or hot pan, or dip it in hot water, to make it more flexible and glossy before serving or wrapping food on it.
• Keep in the fridge wrapped in a plastic bag and use within a few days, as it dries out over time.
