ABOUT Keema Blossom Delight RECIPE

This is a traditional Bengali recipe of banana flower called "Moch Ar Ghonto". Here I cooked it with keema, black chana, potato and grated fresh coconut. The preparation of this exotic curry is no doubt time consuming, but it is worth the effort as the end result is simply delicious. It can be had either with plain steamed rice or chapattis.
