You don't eat it raw... The flower has to be cooked... First u need to half cook it with salt turmeric and water n drain the water. Then stir fry it with onion garlic turmeric chilly..

The sri Lankan way of cooking it


Banana flower – 500g
Grated coconut – 3 to 4 tablespoons (personally i would add more, more the merrier & yummier)
Onion – 50g
Dried red chili – 2 or 3
Curry leaves – Few
Fennel seeds – ¼ teaspoon
Mustard seeds – ¼ teaspoon
Salt – 1 tablespoon
Cooking oil – As you want (tastes best with Coconut Oil)

Method:
1) Take a banana flower and peel off the skin, just a layer or two is enough.

2) Chop the banana flower into very small pieces.
Then put them into a bowl and add some water along with a tablespoon of salt. Mix it well and keep aside for 10 to 15 minutes
(This step is crucial, dont miss it out)

3)Drain the salted water completely. Then wash them for at least 2 or 3 times in ordinary water.

4) Now switch on the flame and add the chopped banana flower. Cook uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes under medium flame. Stir frequently to avoid burning on the bottom. Once done take off the cooked banana flower and keep aside.

5)Now heat the oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Let the mustard seeds splutter.

6) Add the onions, red chilies, and curry leaves. Stir frequently until the onions turn into light brown color. Then add the fennel seeds and cook for 30 seconds.

7) Now add the cooked banana flower and mix everything well. Cook uncovered under very low flame for one or two minutes.

8) Finally, switch off the flame and immediately add the grated coconut. Give a good mix.

Try it with rice 🍚 and other sri lankan curries

Ginataang Puso ng Saging (Banana Flower in Coconut Milk
Prepare the banana flower: Peel and discard the tough outer layers until you reach the softer, lighter layers. Cut the banana flower into thin strips and soak in water with salt or vinegar for about 15 minutes to reduce bitterness. Rinse and drain.

Sauté: In a pan, heat oil and sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.

Cook the banana flower: Add the banana flower strips and sauté for a few minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer.

In india especially in west bengal we use cook a sabji with banana flower
You should try that it's taste really good
Here it is the steps to cook :

Banana flower curry, also known as "Mochar Ghonto" in Bengali, is a popular dish in Indian Bengali cuisine! Here's a simple recipe to cook it in traditional Bengali style:

Ingredients:

- 1 banana flower (mocha)
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 medium ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon mustard oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons mustard paste (optional)
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Clean and chop the banana flower into small pieces.
2. Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions, garlic, and ginger until softened.
3. Add cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Cook for 1 minute.
4. Add the chopped banana flower and cook until it's tender.
5. Add salt, mustard paste (if using), and coconut milk (if using). Stir well.
6. Simmer the curry for 10-15 minutes or until the flavors meld together.
7. Garnish with cilantro and serve with steamed rice or roti.

Tips:

- Use fresh banana flowers for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your desired spice level.
- Mustard paste and coconut milk add depth and richness to the curry, but feel free to omit them if you prefer.
- Traditionally, Bengalis use mustard oil for its distinct flavor, but you can substitute it with vegetable oil if needed.

For a special taste add ghee and greated fresh coconut
Enjoy your delicious Mochar Ghonto!

In Brazil, banana flowers are widely used in recipes such as stews or stir-fries. They are also used as "vegan meat" in preparations that would otherwise use meat.

Hi am from West Bengal, the is called "Moccha" locally, and is eaten in most of north eastern and eastern states of the country. You are actually supposed to cook it, you can make either a dry curry with it or you can make pakoras with it, the "twigs" are actually the flower that you are supposed to clean each individually, remove the white sample and the filament and stigma inside and rest of the petal flesh is what U can eat, the red pettles that U saw to be escraped out and not to be eaten, you can cook it with prawns and homley masalas, but yes a tip apply Mustard oil on hands before cleaning the 'twigs' as it's super sticky .... you can also find many recipies online .... enjoy 🥰

In India its eaten mostly in the east & south. In Bengal we cook it many way like bhaji or we make mochar ghonto. You need to clean the flowers by removing the pistil, it becomes hard & chewy with a bitter taste. Throw away the petals it's inedible, at the end you will get the heart of flower that is edible. You need to chop up the heart & flower then blanch it with salt & turmeric then fry it with a tempering of bay leaf, dry chilli & cumin then put in the aloo with spices like chill tumeric dhaniya & ginger paste, fry it till oil separate then adjust the water so that it becomes semi-thick curry. This recipe is pure veg. Hope u enjoy

My favourite dish cooked with banana blossom is spring rolls.
1. First you separate the blossoms until u get into the core like what u did.
2. Remove the stems from the blossoms and dice em all including the core you can dice the whole core
3. Then soak them in water with white vinegar to stop the oxidation then strain it.
4. Add salt and mix it to the strained blossom then wash it to remove the salt( the salt helps in removing that sticky sap)
5. Dice up a whole onion and 5 cloves of garlic.
6. Saute the garlic and onions then add ground meat(chicken, pork, or beef) and banana blossom and cook it till the blossoms are a little soft at this point you can add spices at your preferences. Let it cool down a bit and set aside.
7. Prepare your spring rolls wrapper and a cornstarch/flour slurry for sealing your spring rolls.
8. Wrap them spring rolls the size doesn't matter depending on your preferred length and girth.
9. Deep fry em till GBD. It goes along well with spiced vinegar dipping sauce but you can use any sauce u want ranch, sweet chili sauce, siracha mayo depends on you.
