Instructions to make Mochaar (Banana Flower) Paturi:

1. Soak the Mustard Seeds in lukewarm water for about 2 hrs time & then, add it into a Blender Jar: With some salt & 2-3 slitted green chillies & blend it to a fine & smooth paste
2. Add in the roughly chopped coconut to the blended mixture in the blender jar & pulse/blitz everything again, until the coconut completely disintegrates- set aside
3. Transfer the already cleaned & washed mocha/banana flower blossoms to a saucepan by adding some salt & turmeric powder & sufficient water to boil the same for about 10-12 mins time
4. Cover the lid & allow it to steam-cook for at least 10-12 mins time & then, strain it & throw away the boiled water…set it aside to cool down a bit
5. Heat a frying pan over the medium flame- Add in the mustard oil & once heated, fry the cut eggplants until a bit soft & then transfer the same onto a plate/dish laid with a kitchen towel & allow it to cool down a bit to be able to touch
6. Now, in a mixing bowl: Add in the cleaned Banana Blossoms & the mustard paste that’s already been prepared- Coat it with this paste absolutely good & thoroughly- set aside, once done
7. In the same Kadhai/Wok/Pan: Add in some more mustard oil (if the need be so to replenish the same- if the brinjals have absorbed all of it), else use the same oil- remaining from the fried brinjals/eggplants: Add in the tempering spices- 2 Red Chillies, 2 Green Chillies & 1 tsp Nigella Seeds/Kalounji, allow it to splutter
8. At this point: Add in the Banana Flower & Mustard Paste mixture to it- Lower the flame to medium-low & spread it all along the pan/wok skillet (whichever used), try to make the layer of this mixture as thin as possible & roast it on the low heat & in a single thin layer possible
