I saw banana flowers in the health food store and thought it would be interesting to try as something different. Thinking I would look it up first, I noticed the outer leaves started to wilt so I trimmed and quartered it lengthwise with out removing the petals. It was very decorative but we did not know to only eat the small inner flower parts and found the petals to be somewhat astringent. So I looked it up on here and found my mistake and your wonderful recipe which I will try soon. I do think it would have been fine in the Thai green curry chicken I made if I had removed the unnecessary parts. I do like the sound of this recipe and will let you know how I like it when I make it. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for the recipe. It`s Superb. I tried out the recipe in the same way given except the dipping in egg part. It turned out fine. Hat off to you. Keep up the good work.
