My mom used to feed us quite often with countryside vegetables, eventhough we wont wish to have them, but i regret very much now whenever i saw the price of those veggies, yep its quite expensive here when compared to the veggies we get from french farmer's market, i never stopped buying our Indian veggies even its very much expensive often, coz i wanted to feed my kids with those veggies...Even its quite a hard task for me to feed them, i never stopped making different dishes with our veggies..Banana blossom is one among those veggies, i usually prepare them as paruppu usili ,fritters or else as dumpling, its been a while i havent had them as simple stir fry and i prepared them yesterday for our lunch, even the cleaning the fresh banana blossom needs much more time than preparing this dish..I simply enjoyed them with rice and papads,needless to say that this stir fry is very much healthier than fried ones..

3nos Dry red chillies (broken)
1tsp Mustard seeds+urad dal

ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of banana blossom, my mom always makes it with moong dal, love it to death. I once tried it and had posted the recipe for that, do try that sometime. I don't mind cooking them but the thought of picking each blossoms and cleaning it spoils all the fun :P Liked your way of making it.
