How to make Maharashtrian Style Kelfulachi Bhaji Recipe - Banana Flower Stir Fry Recipe
To begin making the Kelfulachi Bhaji Recipe, we will first clean the banana blossom/plantain flower.
Oil your hands and start working with the banana flowers.
Firstly, peel the purple layers and remove the florets. In each floret remove the longest string with a round head called the 'stamen' and the translucent thin cover.
Now chop the florets finely and soak them in diluted buttermilk or plain water.
Add turmeric and salt to the buttermilk and allow it to soak overnight (refrigerated) or at least for 30 minutes.
Check out the recipe to make the Malvani masala and also keep it ready.
Heat a sauce pan with oil, add cumin seeds and mustard and leave it to crackle for 10 seconds.
Add hing, chopped garlic and onions and fry till the onions turn translucent. Once it is done add the chopped florets without the water. Add the malvani masala and also salt to taste.
Give it a toss, add jaggery and kokum and saute until the florets softens and gets cooked.
You can sprinkle some water and cover it with a lid and also cook. Make sure you keep sautéing so that it does not get stuck at the bottom of the pan.
Serve the Maharashtrian Style Kelfulachi Bhaji along with Khandeshi Dal Recipe or Khichdi to enjoy your healthy lunch.
