👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Prepare the banana blossoms: Remove the tough outer leaves. Slice the inner, tender parts thinly. To prevent browning, soak the sliced blossoms in acidulated water (water with a squeeze of lime or a splash of vinegar) while you prepare the other ingredients.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure you use the tender inner parts of the banana blossom, as the outer parts can be tough. - 2
Heat vegetable oil in a pot or deep pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the turmeric, coriander, and cumin powders. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.

Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the banana blossoms to soften.
