Banana stem pulao or thor chal is a tasty rice dish. My mother used to prepare this dish when we were kids. As this is a bengali style pulao so the dish is sweet in taste like other bengali pulaos. Addition of banana stem into a rice dish is really innovative and makes the this healthy. Banana stem has lot of health benefits including healing acidity and gastric problems, managing cholesterol and blood pressure, treating kidney stones and uti and many more.
