1/4 tsp chilli powder

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp mustard seeds

Salt to taste

Preparation-

• Soak the moong overnight. Next morning  add a  cup of water to Ingredients A and pressure cook till soft.
• Chop the banana flower, onion, green chilli and garlic fine.
• While the moong cooks, heat oil in a pan and sputter the mustard seeds.
• Saute the onion, garlic and green chilli.
• Add the banana flower and chilli powder. Stir well, cover and cook.
• Add salt. When the banana flower is completely cooked add the cooked moong.
• Add cumin powder and stir well.
• Take off the heat and serve hot with roti, rice or parathas.
