Steps

30 minutes

1

Cleaning the banana flower or mocha requires some technical training.Inside the big boat like leaves there are bunch of flowers.
2

From each floret you need to discard the outer shell & the stiff stick like strand with a tiny bulb at the top as they are not edible.
3

Once you discard the inedible parts immerse the rest florets in cold water while you continue cleaning the remaining bunches.
4

This will avoid the blackening of the florets.Once all the bunches are cleaned,wash them in hot water with turmeric powder & then drain the water.
5

Pressure cook the chopped banana flowers until 2 whistles blow.Drain the cooked banana florets & set aside.
6

Heat 2 tbsp of mustard oil in a kadai.Temper it with cardamom, cinnamon sticks,cumin seeds,green chillies
7

Saute them for a mint until they became fragnant.
8

Make a smooth spice paste by adding ginger paste, cumin powder,turmeric powder,salt,sugar,red chilli powder to a small bowl & mixing them with 1/2 cup water.
9

Once the whole spices start to crackle add the spice paste to the kadai.Then add potatoes, pumpkins,brinjals & saute on low medium flame for 10 to 15 mints.
