Soak the cleaned banana flower florets in buttermilk to remove bitterness and prevent discoloration.

Dry roast fennel seeds, dried red chillies, and grated coconut, then coarsely grind them into a dry masala blend.
4
Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed pan, add mustard seeds, urad dal, and curry leaves, letting them splutter.
5
Add sliced shallots and sauté until translucent.
6
Add the boiled banana flower florets and the freshly ground spice mix, tossing well to coat evenly.
7
Stir-fry on medium-low heat until the mixture turns slightly crisp and golden brown.
