Gita Ma'am... a couple of weeks back tauktae cyclone brought down a banana tree my friend's backyard. They dont eat the stem so they gave the entire stem to us. Since I had lots of banana stem, I tried 3-4 recipes over one week. The best, easiest and yummiest of all the 4 recipes that I tried was your poriyal recipe with moong dal. It was light, nutritious and tasty. Thank you for taking efforts to teach us with all the tips, tricks and with so much detail. 😘

We in Assam use only tender saplings for the recipe. We just finely chop the inner core of the sapling. Add lentils or mung dal. Put in cooker to boil. Then tamper with Jeera,dhaniya Onion,garlic, chilli etc etc. We also use another item of banana fruits. Outer cover of banana is sun dried .Then we burn and collect the Ash . When needed it's used by mixing the Ash to some water to release the alkali to water . This water is filtered and can be used as substitute for cooking soda.

I am dying to try this recipe. I live near a large Indian community and do all my spice, fresh veggies and legume shopping there.. fresher and less costly. I found the banana stem there and wondered "What do you do with this?" Since I love to try new things, I researched a recipe and came across this one. In addition, in my Gulf Florida home I have a real banana plant which I often ask my husband to prune down throwing out the stems killed me as I knew there was something I could do with them. Now I know. I use the leaves to make Cuban Tamales with the banana leaves. Now I have a great Indian recipe. .Thank you Gita, I am following you now!!

I never knew we could eat it raw too. I tried both your receipes today it was very tasty. My hubby too liked it. I bought this stem after 7 years. I had made it earlier the taste was pathetic so I never dared to try again. This time my hubby bought since it's been years n the receipe was yumm. I'll regularly buy from hereon. Thanks for the receipe Aunty. Post more variations using this veggie

How long do we have to soak the chopped stem in buttermilk before we eat it raw or cook it? Also , please advise on how to differentiate and choose a fresh, tender stem from a tough old one.

No waiting .. we just keep it in buttermilk to prevent discolouring due to oxidation . You can see by touch , one which is not fibrous at the open end
