Instructions
First, clean the banana florets and keep ready.
Add salt, turmeric, sambar powder to about 2 cups of water (sufficient water to cook the florets) and bring to a boil. Add the chopped banana flower into the boiling water and cook until the florets are 90% done. Drain the excess water and keep the cooked florets aside.
Now heat a pan with oil, add the mustard. Once it splutters, add the other items under "To temper" in the given order. Once the urad dal turn golden brown in color, add the onion and garlic.
Saute onions until it turns translucent. Add the cooked banana flower to the pan and saute until they are dry. Since they are already cooked, it should not take more than a few minutes.
Finally, add the grated coconut and toss for a couple of minutes until everything combines well.
Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy hot.
