There's a stigma associated with making banana flower curry—pun intended! 😄 You have to remove the stigma first. It's fibrous and tough, with lignin and cellulose. Always remove the stigma and soak the cleaned flowers in turmeric water to keep your curry delicious! 🍛 #BananaFlowerCurry #KitchenTips
