Banana flower

Kele ka Phool

Book measures banana flower by g; no count conversion needed.

Nothing matches its faintly bitter, artichoke-like texture; banana stem is closest.

• 
  Banana stem

  Use the same weight; chop finely and cook without removing stamens. Texture is cleaner and it cooks about 5 minutes faster.

• 
  Cabbage

  Use the same weight, shredded; cooks 5 minutes faster and lacks the faint bitterness.

• 
  Cauliflower floret

  Use the same weight, chopped small; mild and firm, but not bitter.
