Preparation

• Remove and discard the first few layer of petals covering the banana flower and use the flowering buds found inside the petals.
• The petals are discarded as they are very fibrous in nature. Chop the rest of the flower into very fine pieces. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds.
• When the mustard splutters, add the red chili and fry for a minute. Add the chopped banana flower and a cup of water. Cook covered for at least 30 minutes or till it is soft.
• Add gur or sugar and salt and cook for another 5 minutes. Garnish with grated coconut and serve hot.
