Instructions
- Remove the style and the small white cover from the flower (shown in the picture below). Check out my detailed post on how to clean plantain flower. Cut banana flower finely. Keep it in diluted buttermilk to prevent discoloration.
- Remove from buttermilk, rinse and pressure cook for 3 whistles adding turmeric powder, little water and salt needed.
- Pressure cook tur dal for 3 whistles or until soft. Mash it well and keep it aside.
- Soak channa overnight and pressure cook with a little salt along with dal, keeping it in a small bowl separately.
- Soak tamarind in hot water, extract the juice and discard the pulp. (around 1 cup)
- Fry the ingredients mentioned under "fry and grind" in a tsp of oil, adding coconut at the end. Then grind it to a smooth paste adding little water.
